Texas , Port Aransas, Pioneer Beach Resort Nov 16 - Dec 15 2015

This is our last month at Pioneer Beach Resort, Port Aransas, Texas.
Time seemed to go by so fast this past month.  I have not had a chance to text all of the pictures.  Will do it as soon as I can.
Pioneer Beach Resort is about 3 miles south west of Port Aransas, on Hwy 361.

Texas Port Aransas Pioneer Beach Resort Oct 15 - Nov 15 2015

Here we are again at Pioneer Beach Resort, a few miles from Port Aransas,TX  This will be our third time at this park.  It was quite hot and humid here for the first three weeks, but it is finally cooling off.  It is good to be back here on the gulf again.  We just love being around the water.  I have had a chance to do some fishing but it hasn't been too good yet.  Our friend Dan Hughes is here again this year.  Love going fishing with him in his boat.

Port Aransas, Texas

This is a Google Earth view of Pioneer Beach Resort, where Kay and I are staying for 2 months. Our site is in the last row on the right, the 3rd spot form the bottom, One can drive the gulf carts down the boardwalk to the beach. Kay and I drove the beach in the cart we are using about 2 miles in each direction. Lots of birds.
Ready to cast the bait net, and hope I can get some mullet.

Great Blue Heron

Marty watching a tug boat going down the shipping channel past the oil rig.

Lots of big oil tankers go up and down the shipping channel at Port Aransas.

Looking back at the campground, while standing on the board walk at the top of the sand dunes leading to the beach.  

Our camper is the third one from the end.  It is the one with the 22 foot wind sock flying in the wind.
Kay and Maxwell on the board walk leading to the beach from the campground.  It is wide enough for a golf cart to drive from the campground to the beach.

My first Red Drum of the season.  Too bad it was too small to keep.

This is one of the ferries that goes across the shipping channel from Port Aransas to Aransas Pass TX.  It is fun to see the dolphins in the water next to the ferries

Kay is all dressed up for the Halloween parade.

Don the Bishop, with his seven Nuns of Fun and his Monk ready for the Halloween parade.

Some people did an outstanding job on their golf carts and costumes.



This is Lynn and his wife.  He is our next door neighbor, and the one who lets us use his golf cart when they are not here at the campground.  

I am holding an Amberjack that our friend Don got surf fishing on the beach in front of  Pioneer Beach Resort.

Kay took this picture of a star fish as it made its way across the beach.  I have never seen this before.


Kay got this picture of a plane while she was kayaking in the channel.

This is a toad fish.  They say they are very good eating, but I don't know if I would.

Pot luck dinner in the club house.  Food was very good.


This oil rig was towed into Port Aransas for repairs.

Kay and Geneva went kayaking one day. I put them in on the channel leading to Shamrock Island. It was a perfect day for kayaking.

A view down the channel leading to Shamrock Island.


One of the many bays off the channel to the island.

This metal blur crab is located just outside of the Rockport aquarium.

Lion Fish

Red Snapper

Moray eel is the largest type of eel.

On the 10th of Nov, a lot of the folks from the campground went on the Aransas Queen Casino boat,  We all had a good time, and some of the people won some good payouts.

You can see Dan - Kay - Marty standing on the left side of the upper deck.  We went out about 17 miles into the gulf.

Some of the folks from the campground.

Went fishing today with my friends Dan & Don. Had to get out of bed at 6:30 am, which is way toooooo early for me. We went out in Dan's boat. It was a bit windy, but the water was not too rough.  We did get some Sheepheads.

We got about 10 or 12 fish, but they had to to be at least 15 inches long to keep.
It was a good first month down here at Pioneer Beach Resort, even if the first part of the month was too warm and humid.
