We left Kerrville yesterday and headed over to Mustang Island, and are currently camping on the Gulf of Mexico. It's much warmer and more humid here (see the weather widget on the right-hand side bar of this blog for current weather conditions wherever we are), and the beach has a very fine white sand. There are a lot more shells on the beach than in Oregon, and most are not broken because there is no heavy surf here. There are lots of charter outfits over here that will take you fishing for blue marlin, sailfish, red fish, snapper, tuna, or trout.
This is Texas, and you can drive on the beaches here, so there are a lot of vehicles all along the shores with people sitting out in lawn chairs enjoying the day, or some have fishing poles attached to their pickup tailgates and they are fishing right from shore that way.
I asked a guy who was walking up from shore with a 5-gallon plastic bucket, and he had some shrimp that he'd caught. He was going down to a big jetty to the north of here to fish for sheephead fish. He said they look like a sheep and have teeth. We'll have to go down to the jetty later to see if he caught one and get a photo if he did.
