South Padre Island

We went to South Padre Island a few days ago on a road trip, it was very cool... It was nice to be by the water and the salt air was familiar to me and Tina, who are both from Florida. Originally we were going to go to Balmorhea state park but due to rainy forecasts we changed our plans at the last minute. It really worked out well, hotels were cheap since it was off season and there were no spring break type people to be seen.

The bay




Made me think of Pee wee's big adventure


Tina and I fished off the pier at Port Isabel and caught almost 50 speckled trout. We were there for six hours, then some dolphins showed up and scared off all the fish...



Who knew?





On our last night there we pulled into the hotel parking lot and four drunk dudes visiting from mexico were poking this crab with a stick. I guess you had to be there.
