Saturday Sunshine - First Ferry
Well, after a five day stint of nothing but, grey skies and only one peek of the sun, we finally had a day of mostly sunshine and I have nearly forgotten what I did that day -- though, I probably fished some that day and didn't have anything to put on the table for me and the twins. The Wifi has been funky here and with all the people staying here, I suspected it was because of heavy use and folks staying indoors and not rendering their use of the connection (must be Texans).
I must have fished and had nothing to clean or cook so, more tuna has most certainly found its way to the food dishes of Tiger and Molly. Come Monday, I did take my first trip on the ferry from Port Aransas to Aransas Pass and then to Walmart and the Bank of America there. Just another grey, dreary day here in south Texas and did buy some frozen shrimp Monday to try at various times when the weather looked less threatening. Fished the seawall and the jetty one day and caught a Whiting and a couple of hard head catfish -- not enough of anything worthwhile to clean and cook.
Yesterday morning, I did try to use up the left over shrimp in the morning and caught a few of those Sheepshead but, none of them were over the legal size of 15 inches -- then, the rains came and lasted through this afternoon. So, I headed again to the seawall and fished with artificial bait for the first hour around the rocks trying for a big Sheepshead but, only had a couple nibbles. Then, I decided to throw deep into the channel with my surf casting rod and only caught one Whiting and an 18 inch hard head catfish -- gave the Whiting to a guy fishing from a camper just down from me and headed for Bernies to get a couple $1 drafts before heading back to the RV.
Yesterday evening I went to play bingo at the recreation hall instead of staying in and watching TV. I didn't win a game but, I came up one short of a win in one game. The couple next to me (Bob and Susan from Toronto) must have spent over $30 on cards and various playing sheets but, he did win one game and that may have put them in the black -- he looked pretty ridiculous though with 8 cards in front of him and his wife had four in front of her. I only had two cards and one each of the little playing sheets for two special games (a $4 investment and a buck for a fudge sicle at the intermission).
Time to open a can of tuna for the twins and get three bugers out of the freezer too. I did find out too last night, that they changed the security code for the Wifi on Monday and that is why I had problems getting connected -- though some of the heavy use problems continue, I think.
Internet is still flukey so, I haven't been able to upload any pictures. Sorry!
