Padre Island Sunrise at the Pier

[Hammer Gun]

I should have put this in the first post. That sunrise reminds me of several years ago when I had a boat I would go offshore and anchor up in 100-125 ft of water on a good piece of bottom and catch grouper and beliners all night and when that beautiful sunrise came up the water would come alive with King mackerel and an occasional wahoo. You can get close to your maker watching the sun come up in the morning, and as they say at sunset if you listen real good you can hear the water sizzle when it sets!

I have heard it many times,still stirs my sole.
I grew up in Key West when it was unspoiled.
My Grandfather(3rd Generation Conch) took me fishing on Porter Dock on the back of his bike.After fishing and selling our fish,we would stop at the Texaco station and buy a bottle coke for 5 cents.Wish I could have stayed but when my Father got out of the Coast Guard we moved to his home town in Alabama.
I still have a love of salt water fishing.Now that I am old,I appreciate it even more.I now have to drive 3 hours but it is worth it.No 5 cent cokes these days and they don't taste as good.
