Stephen Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'm visiting Port Aransas this weekend and was wondering what I should do while I am there? I know lots of people on the board frequently visit here. Any recommended campsites? Bars? Local attractions? Also, interested in catching some of those little peppermint shrimp while I am down there. How easy are they to catch, where should I look and what type of equipment will I need? Thanks!

Robb in Austin Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 You'll need a net (small tank like net, not a giant fishing one), a bucket and air bubbler, a head mounted flashlight (with red light option ideally), sturdy shoes ( no flip flops), and a fishing license. Go all the way out to the end of the jetty, dig around between the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad and Belinda Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 +++++++ 1 on sturdy shoes. Belinda slipped on the jetti rocks last year and had to have surgery to fix her knee. Just keep an eye out for the dark patches along the rocks. That's usually the slick stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Port A brewery and pizza is tasty. So is Shell's restaurant (pricey, but oh so good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
