well...the + side is you can fish or sleep as long as you want here, different kinds of fish ie: red, black drums. pompano, and lots of sharks. Also I surf fished on P.I.N.S. and can see Mexico, and some times the water turns emerald green.
The - side (and this is my own opion) The A.I. skeeters have nothing on the bat size skeeters here on this coast.The beach is so hard pack it hurts your feet walking around bare footed, and the "un-writen" rules here is when you have your rods in sand spikes(witch you have to hammer in) you move your camp,or truck back out of the way towards the dunes because the travel lane is at the tide line,( I have a funny story about that if you all want to here it) and I mean travel land because to some jackasses there is no speed limit on the beach its kind of hard paying attention with your rods when I have my 3 y.o. and dog with me
. There is also 18 weelers traveling up and down the beach because of the pumping stations from all the oil platforms off shore. You can see a few of them from the shore, and with all the oil rigs there is alot of hardend oil chunks that wash up. Also there is this grass Ithink its called sargassam grass that washes up and its messy and stinky and people trash the place up that will make any Indian cry
...
I could go on and on about my personal hang ups but don't get me wrong I have had some great times here and I'am glad I did it but its time to come home + for some reason I like the smell and the powder sand of A.I.
