If you are not doing any fishing up that way you don't know what you are missing. Sandwiched between living/fishing here for 40+ years I lived in Houston for 18 years. I thought it was the end of the world when the oil company I was working for transfered me to Houston in the mid-70s. I even completely quit fishing for about 2 years. But then I discovered that there were indeed places I could go like Surfside and San Luis Pass to catch fish. The Surfside jetties too.

I'm not going to get into comparisons because I know there are not more fish up there than there are down here but for reasons I cannot explain I always caught more fish up there than I do down here. I rarely had trouble catching a limit ot Specks from the Surfside surf when conditions were good. If there weren't fish to catch up there we'd be running into surf-mongers like Doggett and Pike in 4 wheel drives at the 40 MM regularly.

There are also some good places to wade on the back side of Surfside and San Luis Pass.

Make the trips down here when you can but you can sure do a lot of fun fishing up that way too.

My grandfather used to tell me one similar to that about carp.

Wrap carp in a damp towel. Put in pan and wrap with foil. Cook for 6 hours at 300 dgrees. Unwrap carp, through away the carp and eat the towel! Laughing

My other grandfather told me the same towel story about sheepies too. Laughing

Sheepies . . . we nailed em one day and I was pretty stoked about it as I had heard how good they were to eat. However, noone told me how little meat really comes off one of those things -- did not seem worth killing them after that. Maybe I just did it wrong but there seemed more head to em than anything else. . . Sad
