The annual Padre Island National Seashore fishing trip was sparsely attended, but very successful.
Nobody got skunked.
Driving conditions were ideal.
Very few people driving on the beach.
But if you want to know more…
Due to the high probability of major rain and wind, we need to postpone this trip to the following weekend. I’ll update the trip details to reflect the change.

All,
Talked to Denis who is down at PINS. South beach is closed at Malaquite due to heavy winds blowing the tide into the beach. Looks like the front has not blown through as hoped.
