August 11-12 Port Aransas North Jetty Trip

Bill Slough: Tarpon caught on a jetty on the Texas Coast.On Saturday, August 11th, we will try another overnight stay on the North Jetty at Port Aransas. Unlike previous outings, this will occur on the new moon, meaning there will be no moon at all. There is still a lot of reflected light from Port Aransas, but you won't be able to walk around with out lights like you frequently can on the full moon. In addition to head lamps, it helps to have a larger flashlight. If the only one you have is round, tie a cross piece to the butt to keep it from rolling off the rocks.

Supposedly, there is a large meteor shower occurring that weekend, so we may get to see a spectacular show. Hopefully the weather will have settled down into a stable pattern. We will take the four or six o'clock jetty boat out of fisherman's wharf. If this outing is new to you, check out the article, Night Fishing for Tarpon on the Texas Jetties, on the Learning Page.
