Texas Land Cut

I really should be doing things like unpacking boxes and organizing all of our stuff, but... I enjoy blogging and don't like to fall behind.  So, I will put off the unpacking and organizing for now.  :)

Last weekend Andy went to Texas Land Cut for a fishing trip.  I don't know a lot about the place except that once in Padre you have to travel by boat to get to the cabin, there's good fishing, and the trip was free for Andy.  The cabin that Andy stayed in used to be a camp house for troubled boys.  It was a place this gentleman took teenage boys to help redirect them to a better path of life and to help them make better choices about their life.  This particular cabin actually has it's own natural spring/aquifer so the fresh water for cooking and bathing does not have to be shipped in from somewhere else.  There is electricity but cell phone reception is spotty.  I am sure Andy will read this and probably have to correct me because I can't remember every little detail he told me about this camphouse.

Pier and camphouse

Andy went with our realtor Curtis (he helped us find our house here in Katy) and another mutual friend of theirs.  They left on Friday afternoon and came back late Sunday evening.  They fished whenever they could, early morning, morning, night, afternoon.  You name it, they were fishing.  Andy said there were quite a few fellow Aggies on the trip!  Whoop!

Andy's friends... Curtis and Nathan

Andy actually caught a total of six fish, all speckled trout, but all of the fish caught were put into a group collection and then divided evenly among everyone on the trip.  On Sunday they could wait around extra for someone to fillet the fish and divvy it up.  However, Andy and his friends were ready to head back home so they didn't wait on any fish.  I was a little bummed because I was really hoping he would have brought enough fish home for a fish fry.

Night fishing

Curtis decided to take a nap... on the boat!  LOL

Nathan threw is fish on the dock and this is
how it landed.  Too funny to not share!
