It is quite ridiculous to prevent people from isolating themselves on the beach...sparing the boring details of family issues and heavy workloads lately, I wanted nothing more this weekend than to escape from all the madness...had plans to head way down PINS, post up my tent and lines, and watch the stars on the sliver of a moon Saturday night. What's more is predictions show the middle of the night to have clear skies! Ideal conditions and we all know I wouldn't see but maybe just a couple people driving by...Just terrible logic closing the beaches.

Rant over, sorry folks.. I know many of us feel the same way and I don't mean to be redundant. But this is just annoying me to no end.

I obviously agree with these expressed feelings about the closure of the Port Aransas land, beach and jetties to fishing, and PINS at night when these areas are probably the safest areas for any of us to be during this crisis. Rolling Eyes

Makes complete sense if the real goal is to keep out of town people from coming to Port A. Mayor probably will not admit it, but I am comfortable that's the real reason.

I think you are right. The goal was to stop out of town visitors. If Vail and Aspen, Colorado closed down their ski slopes, it would sure put an end to most, if not all, of their out of town visitors.

I'm thinking a large portion of Spring Breakers that ignored any warnings are gonna see a massive spike in C-19. Same thing is happening all those that celebrated Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Very aggressive step the city is taking, but maybe it will help? Or too liitle too late?

If you were to fish from the beach in Nueces County, you could also carry a copy of County Judge Barbara Canales Order, which allows fishing:

(see: https://www-cdn.cctexas.com/sites/default/files/covid-19-judge-canales-stay-at-home-order.pdf ) :

2. Definitions: a. For purposes of this Order, individuals may leave their residence only to perform any of the following "Essential Activities": i. To engage in activities or perform tasks essential to their health and safety, or to the health and safety of their family or household members (for example, obtaining medical supplies or medication, visiting a health care professional, or obtaining supplies needed to work from home). ii. To obtain necessary services or supplies for themselves and their family or household members, or to deliver those services or supplies to others (for example, food, pet supply, and any other household consumer products, and products necessary to maintain the safety, sanitation, and essential operation of residences.) iii. To engage in outdoor activity, provided the individuals comply with the social distancing requirement of six (6) feet (for example, walking, biking, hiking, fishing, running, boating, wading, or surfing). All beaches within the geographic boundaries of Nueces County are open for regular hours of operation but with a 8p.m. curfew, although access to such beaches may be monitored and/or limited to assure that no vehicles park within one hundred (100) feet of another vehicle. All city and county public parks within the geographic boundaries of Nueces County are open for regular hours of operation. iv. To perform work providing essential products and services at an Essential Business or to otherwise carry out activities specifically permitted in this Order. v. To care for a family member(s) or a pet (or pets) in another household.

Near the bottom of her order is this:

11. This Order of County Judge Barbara Canales applies to all incorporated and unincorporated areas of Nueces County. To the extent of a conflict between decisions of Nueces County Judge Barbara Canales and a mayor of any city within the geographic boundaries of Nueces County, the decisions set forth in this Order prevail (to the fullest extent allowed by law pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 418.108(h).

I applaud Judge Canales' well thoughtout Order, except I don't understand the closure of PINS at 8PM. I would imagine the 8PM closure has more to do with the impact on monitoring personnel than anything else. The City of Port A can learn from her wisdom.
