It's not real easy to see, but if you look at the horizon what  you see is about 38 oyster boats working the reef just this side of Scotch Tom Reef. I'm thinking they may have closed Copano to the oyster boats and now they are working for the lower quality oysters of Aransas Bay. This all started on Friday. From here it looks as if they are so close that they would run into each other, but they are really clustered I'm sure.
It was good to get some warmer weather this week. The high was 79 degrees on Friday. When I came in on Tuesday the temperature in my condo was 43 degrees. It was so cold the water through the door on the fridge froze up. It didn't thaw until Saturday morning.  Maybe some of the cold weather nation wide will send us some more winter Texans. It appears to me that we are just shy of 20 winter Texans as it stands right now.
Friday evening Johnny and Colton(705) worked hard to try to find some flounder to gig. They ended up with one large sheepshead. The flounder population is way down from last year.
Marcelino and Jerry worked most of last week to straighten out the crossbridge. It looks so much better now. They raised the decking and the railing too.
