We left at 11:45 thursday night, and arrived in Port Aransas around 7:00 a.m., after a long and very uncomfortable trip. No laying room, no where to put your head, no where to sleep!! But we made it! Since we couldn't check into our camp site until 8:00, we decided to go straight to the beach. We walked the beach and just enjoyed the morning breeze! Right at 8:00, we left to go check in and get our camper set up. Instead of napping at this point, everyone had pretty much caught there second wind.....so off to wade fishing. We got our license and went to a pretty secluded part of the island and wade fished for about 2 hours. Then we fished off the dock for a little bit. After a few fish, we decided it was time for lunch and a nap! So, we ate a sandwhich and heading to bed for a quick nap. We slept for about 4 hours....the max my bladder can go while pregnant....and got up and got ready for some grub! We grilled some hamburgers and hot dogs, then loaded up to go night fishing off the pier! We ended up sitting here for about 4 hours and caught probably 50 fish! We only could keep about 15 of them. But still....its so much more fun when you are catching them. We would of stayed longer, but we had to be at the docks at 6:45 in the morning for our deep sea fishing trip...so we decided to turn in about midnight. Which ended up being 1:00 because of the hour ferry ride back to camp. Anywho, 5:45 came early and we were up and ready to go. We stopped at WHATABURGER on the way....which turned out to be a big mistake later. =) Once at the docks, we were told that I was misinformed and could not go on the boat due to my preggo status. Boo...this means 6 hours alone for me. =( So, everyone was off and I was back to camp. I watched Step Brothers...and by that time the shops were open. So, momma was off to do some shopping. I ended up finding some really cute stuff for the kiddos. Around 1:00 I headed back to the docks to pick up the gang. They ended up catching 210 pounds of fish: kingfish, ling, and shark. They were throwing fish back they had so many. The deckhand said that was something they hoped to catch in a 12 hour trip, not a 6 hour~ so needless to say, there trip was spectacular!! The other boat that went out only caught like 2 or 3 fish. However, there were some casualties, Chris and Audra ended up sea sick and slept half of the trip! This left Shane and Jeff with all the work.
After we had our fish cleaned, we got cleaned up and heading to a place where they cook some of your fish for you. It was AWESOME!!
We turned in after dinner for a good nights rest and headed back the next morning when everyone awoke. It was nice to be home!!
