NonSequitur Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 We're really looking forward to it, at this point looking at driving down some time on Friday, staying in Rockport (My boss has a condo there that he lets employees use). Do you know yet what time everyone's thinking of getting together on the various days? Looks like the low tides are about an hour after sunset the days we'll be there, high tides slightly before sunrise, with a nearly full moon.

+Dena Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 We're going down on Thursday. So far we have planned: Thursay after arrival: paint our own pottery...it's fun and if you have kids they would LOVE it. Website is www.fireitceramics.com Friday morning/early afternoon...dolphin tour. Right now we are going with a place that has a small person limit, but we are checking into one that has a larger limit. If anyone is interested in doing this on Friday (or even Saturday morning), let me know. The site is http://www.kohootz.com/groupprivatecharters.htm Saturday just before sunset we go to the jetties to collect. Things we plan to do, but don't know when: Tour the USS Lexington - I vaguely recall seeing a paranormal show where they went here and it's suppose to be haunted. I'm not positive it's the same one, but I think it could be. Fishing Collecting in the marshes - if anyone has done this, please provide some input. I have wanted to do it, but have no idea where to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a walk. Got everything on the list except for net (did get a small baitwell net), but wasn't sure what size would be best or if it should have a telescopic handle. Walmart had one I was looking at. Also our Walmart seemed to have a good selection of headband lights with both white and red leds. wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 How long is the drive? Is it possible/cheaper to stay in Corpus and drive over or would the convenience factor outweigh the added expense of staying on the island? And where on the beach is the bonfire/collecting going to occur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
