Would be nice to hear some of the experts weigh in on this. |
Ummmmmm......... NO!

My neighbors call it Schitterbon.
Does that tell you how the locals feel on NPI?

It was only a matter of time before the island here exploded like South Padre did. It will be connected to Port A in the next 20 years. I hate it for the folks that live out there.

Yeah, Tyler no more posting people's PINS reports please. Your website gets too many hits a month, you are ruining it for us all. 
Sheesh.

Ever hear old stories about the way things were many years ago and you wish you could go back and experience it? Like your granddad's experiences? I've been getting that feeling about PINS the last ten years, only the stories are my own. Must be even more so for the folks who've been fishing the island for decades longer than me.
For that ONE place, I just wish it weren't getting so dern popular. Simple. Selfish? Maybe. But, I take very good care of that place and feel like I appreciate it more than your average bear. By the way, there are a lot of PINS fishermen who have started keeping their adventures down island to themselves. Yea, I understand that the National Seashore is for everyone. But, we locals are sort of crowding ourselves out a bit.
This is yet another example of something I posted on the forum, but could have said nonchalant in conversation and it would have been no big deal. BUT, thank you itorna for trying to make me sound like a total douchbag to the site admin, I do appreciate it.
Tyler, I wasn't trying to bash corpusfishing.com. In case it isn't apparent, I really do appreciate the site.

Hey FIDO I was one of the fortunate that was able to experience the island
ac long time ago, even before PINS so I understood your post and do understand what you saying. Yep, the National Seashore is for everyone
but there is nothing wrong with being selfish and remembering how good it was before the times of today.
It's kinda sad that your post was taken in the wrong context by a snowbird from New York.  I'm sure if that youngster would have taken a minute and thought about it for a minute he would have gotten it. But as in most of his post....he knows it all.

I don't think it will be financially successful and we will be stuck with a rusting hulk. Where are they drawing their customers from? Not San Antonio they have one up there now. Not from the Valley, thay have one on SPI. Robstown?? The draw here is that a family can come here and spend 24 bucks for a beach pass and the rest is FREE. Not alot of folks around here ready to spend over a hundred bucks for a day at a water park.
As far as the rest of the the grand plan to develop a "River Walk" with restaurants and shops that will never happem. The minute Snexy has to put up any of his own money the project crashes and burns. The whole idea was to sucker Schlitterban to buy his money loosing properties.
Funny nobody ever asked the people that live here what they thought of the BIG PLAN. |

FIDO...I was joking. Relax. LIke you said, don't blow something out of proportion from a forum. I just thought it was ironic. Even you can see that. And I'm sure Tyler and the rest of us don't think you're a dbag. Your point is simple and relevant, and has merit, but is ironic considering that we all share a public forum, no? There is some selfishness in everyone, even myself. Heck, I hate when there is somebody in my "spot" when I get there, and sometimes think about my fishing reports online.
And Capt. Speckled trout, I don't know why you think most of my posts are "know it all" any more than anyone else on this board. Maybe its because my posts aren't 100% in line with yours (even thought many times they ARE), and if somebody doesn't agree with you it must be because they are "snow birds from NY". We probably see eye to eye on more things that you think, and maybe if you could get past that part you would see that. For example - I think the schlitterbahn is a schitty thing too for many of the reasons already mentioned.

The Padre Is. Business Association, IUPAC, and the Homeowners Association all went to the City Council to express their strong support for the project...and sent out emails to drum up attendance at the Friday groundbreaking ceremony. Did the POA survey the homeowners here on the Island???? Nope. If you really want to let them know what you think, go to the annual meeting March 9, at 10 am at the Seashore Learning Center...and let them know what you think.
So far, the project only has a "grading permit" and no final plans to submit for a building permit. Might be time to ask how many million gallons of water a day the water park will use...in this time of drought and water rationing and a barely functioning waste water plant. |

community "leaders" (italics intended) are always looking to increase the tax base and promote "growth" (also intended) so as to add to public coffers and then crow about their accomplishments come election time.
then there are those with no ties who own and exploit their property (developers) who whisper alluring messages into the ears of the "leaders".
in return, the entity annexes and taxes the outlying areas and grudgingly adds minimal services..ie roads, utilities and law enforcment.
this is called progress.
the previous residents are left with either putting up with it or leaving.

Luke you're okay in my book even if you are from New York and FIDO I understand where you and ST are coming from on back when nobody knew about the good fishing here etc. I have heard that before but believe me that Genie left the bottle long before I got here. People used to paint bad things about Billy Sandifer and Buddy Gough on the washed up buoys on the beach for mentioning or reporting on the fishing on the Padre Island National Seashore. I chose to present a forum that instills an attitude to take care of what we have, appreciate it, and fight for our right to use it so long as we are good stewards of our resources.
As far as Schlitterbaun well that appears to be a done deal and it will succeed or fail. If the bridge and canal does come in don't be surprised if bull sharks and other scary stuff - red tide comes in the back door. Then again some circulation back there would be good! |

Not a fan here...I already have to hunker down on holiday weekend and now add this. Ugh.
North beach? Great, go for it, call it urban renewal by knocking down the crack shacks there. That is a fine tourist trap area, just like Rockport Beach is a great development. Take half of our golf course and put that park in our backyard? NO!
IMO they should put up a performance bond for demolition/island restoration. 
As far as improving circulation, I doubt there will be enough movement to significantly affect total water salinities in the bays. It will help flush out the dead end canals at the back of Padre Isles, which I guess might help those people living on those canals. The increase in boat traffic alone would offset that in my eyes...but some people love the activity.

maybe the city will generate enough in taxes to pay someone to clean up all the Frigging trash that the local population throws out of their cars on a daily basis around here.
you guys just need to be optimistic, like me. |
