Don’t go there Froggie, I’ll put my woman on ya. You might as well spout how much you enjoy shooting neighborhood cats. Our whole deal is baby sea turtles, we go looking for nests every time we visit.

I love North Padre, been camping down there a bunch of times. You never know for sure what the conditions will be, but if you can get past Big Shell beach heading south it is usually quite navigable. Camping down around 40-50 is my fave, but be prepared to spend a few days to get good and relaxed. We build a tarp shelter from scavanged lumber and put our tent next to it. Takes a full day or two before you can get all set up and rigged. If you know how to fish the snappers and redfish will feed you well, as will the crabs certain parts of the year.

My absolute favorite place on earth (possible exception for Brewster County), in the right conditions. Absolute hell in the worst. Eat yer Wheaties. My homepage has a couple of shots from trips down yonder, have a glance.

Just don’t do like my dumass pal BBQ Dan and leave your coolers full of food on the sand, the coyotes will relieve you of all tasty items and you’ll never know they were there. Except for the tracks ;)

Oh...Yes, I forgot the coyotes.

When we were there the local paper was reporting that they were so numerous and bold that they were chasing kids and pets down neighborhood streets.

Be careful if you camp.
