It was maddening still to watch as two persons were catching
twenty five plus inch trout and stringing them all up. Why doesn’t a Texas Game
warden ever check the fish on the pier? Of course I got checked last year as
soon as I put a twenty one inch red on the stringer.
Renita finally showed up, with a bag full of shells, and I
was finally able to complain to someone. She just nodded her head and pretended
sympathy as she set the hook on a nice sheephead. I quickly joined her in the
fun and we caught fish after fish, quickly having enough legal fish for the
meal. I still left a big pole out for reds and shark but it was to no avail.
The next morning the wind howled and so fishing was out of
the question. Deciding to head to town the engine only clicked and refused to
turn over. Renita called Good Sam Emergency Road service and in the time stated
a repair man showed up and jumped our truck, He then looked at the gauges and
said the alternator was shot so he gave me a quick course in replacing the
alternator. I thanked him for the advice and then asked him if he would repair
it. Two hours later we were in the parking lot of a Bay City auto parts store
and he finished the job, (I also replaced the batteries as they were seven
years old).
Returning back to the campground we rested and then took a
walk along the beach as Renita wanted to gather a few more sun dials,(a local
shell). I took along my pole and cast for flounder but to no avail, finally
giving in and helping her gather more stuff for the fifth wheel.
Tomorrow we head out to High Island and hopefully some good
birding. We have also been told it’s a good place for Pleistocene mammal
fossils, but we are not going to hold our breath for that. It doesn’t really
matter much anyway as the real fun is in the hunting. Clear skies
Ps it was the first time we have ever needed Good Sam
Emergency Road service and we were pleased with the great service.
