Galveston has some dirty water also. You have to watch because there are warning saying not to eat the fish at certain times.

Ya. I never thought about it until I got on a fishing message board and saw all the pics. We wade fish and people were finding them in bate buckets and all kinds of stuff. If a rattlesnake swims up to me I will break my rod in half trying to slap the $@#& out of it... I don't care how much it costs.I'd be shooting a hole in my boat!

Last summer I was changing a tarp in the irrigation ditch. I got the tarp placed and turned to face up stream to shovel some mud to seal the tarp. There was a fairly big rattler swimming in the ditch about 5/6 feet from me. I made like the French revolution. Off with his head.

Walk on the ferry, unless you absolutely need your car on the other side… we actually stayed at a guest house out at the state park on West End last summer-could sleep 8 for $300/night. Bay access for wade fishing, full kitchen-pretty quiet and a nice break from the tourist-infused Galveston I grew up in…

My brother had a home at Crystal Beach on Bolivar Peninsula for about 8 years. 2 actually--Ike took the 1st one.
Shorter to drive thru Houston and out 45 to Galveston and across the ferry but WAY faster to drive I-10 to Winnie and turn toward the water.
(He died and we scattered his ashes in early 2019 from Bolivar ferry as was his request. I've not been back to Galveston or Bolivar since)

Thanks for the warning, I appreciate that.

That seems silly when you sink with all the snake around you. F that s. I'd give them the boat and all learn to jump fly or something. Throw snakes fast! My brother is scared of snakes he always says I won't throw one on him.... he touch me with a plunger...could have been used could have not been used... either way it was a PLUNGER!!! I bet I'd throw a snake.
Google the videos of the rattlesnakes swimming in the bay or getting in people's bait buckets or trying to crawl up the motor to get in the boat.
Sounds like a good way to have nightmares for life!
I kept telling my husband a few years back when I'd laid away at night there was a snake in our wall. He thought I was. I kept telling him he didn't believe me. I heard it amd smell it in the wall. I'd see all these snakes laying outside our house, every day it be a different snake. I kept telling my husband something isn't right about these snakes. Years before this I had a tan bed and a sauna in our basement. I kept getting this strange feeling snakes was down there I quit going down there. (Back to first story
) I watched a cottonmouth go in a hole in the ground behind our house.
this was some years ago.

Actually Galveston Bay is one of the most productive estuaries in the United States.

Speaking from the wading side it's nasty. All that Houston area dumping in to it is just funky. I haven't seen any thing as pretty and clean to wade as that Mansfield/ South Padre area. It's mostly pasture and a few little towns down there. No plants, refineries, major cities, etc. Even Corpus is pretty funky. Their sewer and drainage in that town is super sketchy and when it acts up, to the bay it goes.
Wait do you have any pictures? Is not true unless you have a picture. Haha

I gotcha, but we didn't have cell phones back then. N with them swatting snakes n jumping up n down, I wouldn't have stopped laughing to take a picture. Would it help if I said that I drive a chevy?
Try the Florida Gulf Coast.
Hell yes!! So in 86... or old you had a square box Chevy correct? Or what that the story in the story?! Hahaha
I missing the '86 part the first time. You could have got out your 110 camera wind that sucker up and click click. Hahaha or if you were the rich folks get the 35 mm. Hope you didn't drop it in the water.

I'm meant for Texas.
I know what you mean though. Lorelei's at sunset with a drink is hard to beat. It's one of my favorites.
