Hey guys.....
I will be doing some serious fishing tomorrow at PINS but with my kids and grandkids coming down on Thursday...I wanted to know where the best place to be to watch some good fireworks.
I know they have one at Corpus Christi Bay...but I also heard there was one in Port Aransas and maybe Aransas Pass....maybe..? And are there any at the base?
Thanks....

X2 on Port Aransas. Get there early and plan on an hour to leave the park, but there's not a bad seat in the house  _________________ E Pluribus Unum |

The Port A fireworks show is in the park right by the public boat ramps. _________________ E Pluribus Unum |

if you're coming off PINS, no need to drive all the way to Port A.....North Padre Island is putting on it's first show at 9pm....works are going off at the end of whitecap, and should be visible from many places on the Island...

Done the "Beach Show" south of Bob Hall a few years, and it can be quite impressive!!!
Ditto on the nice Port A show. Better if you have a boat, but just plan on a long wait to leave as the traffic in and around Roberts Point Park is BAD after the show. |

Yup, and if you pick up a free copy of Island Moon (like @ Whataburger on the island), It will give you the specifics along with a map of where they are launching and where the best spots are to watch.

It was great watching the show from Fishinglady's deck which is right at the end of whitecap. _________________ I LIKE MINE FRIED. |
