Port Aransas Vacations 07-08


This is our Family Picture from the 2007 trip! We really enjoy our trips to Port Aransas! We went and stayed in a condo in 2007! This year we were able to go for almost a week! We took the bus and traveled in style. I call it my traveling motel room. The RV park was really nice and close to the beach.







Kerry Don, Leonard (the deckhand we've known for years), Pake and Tate! This is a JackFish that Kerry Don had a heck of a time pulling in! He was a fighter, but he's not good for eating!






The first morning we were in Port A this year... I decided we needed to go for a walk on the beach! It was so pretty, but the mosquitos were horrible! And it's soooo humid we were dripping wet even thought we didn't go swimming!










The boys loved finding sea shells and watching the little crabs that are tiny and wash up on the beach... then, they wiggle their way back into the sand.... really neat! Pake found some LIVE sand dollars too!

This is 182 lb shark that KD caught the summer of 2007! It was 8 ft long and put up quite a fight! If you look close you can see the shotgun holes, where they had to shoot it before they pulled it in the boat! We had lots of BIG fish fries with this shark!






The was at the Crazy Cajun: Todd and Dawn, Pake, Tate, me and KD! They boil it up cajun style and just dump it on the table: crabs, shrimp, snow crab legs, sausage, new potatoes and corn on the cob! YUMMY, but it is messy!



This is Tate and Pake's first trip out deep sea fishing. We went out 8 hours the first day! Tate got alittle sick and threw up alittle but then he was ok! We meet a Phillipino lady that had yummy snacks and he liked hanging out with her! The fishing was good snapper and kingfish!



We went out on a bay fishing trip! KD caught this little hammer head! Tate had more fun playing with this little shark! Dawn got sick though and it made up her mind about not going out on the 12 hour trip.

This is Pake riding his little hard surfboard.... you are supposed to ride in really shallow water.... It's hard to do, but he got pretty good at it!
