Mustang Island is one of the barrier islands along the Texas Gulf Coast, about half-way down the Texas side of the gulf. It's long been a fishing haven and winter warm spot for snowbirds.
This area is about 4 miles south of Port Aransas, looking south.
Each winter we see these large man-o-war type jelly fish.
Not all fishing is done from boats. A lot of people have good luck just casting from shore.

Our travel companions in Goliad: Al & Donna Rich, Tom & Ann Bowers, and us, Pat & Dave. The Rich's are from Colorado; the Bowers from Iowa. We were companions the two previous winters we spent in Port Aransas and have resumed our relationship after being in California the past two winters.
