Conversation Between Debray and RDW

Good Morning RDW
If I ever get to come back to Texas, I will definitely drop you a line.
During one of my hunts at Aranzas Wildlife Area during their annual bow hunt I shot a javilina. We had a Bar-B-Q for all the neighbors when I got home but couldn't get the meat to cooked it stayed red and thinking it was like pork we were afraid to eat it, so we ate everything else and put the meat in the frig.
The next morning an older gentleman that lived next door and was away the evening befor stopped over and asked how the Bar-B-Q went. I told him not well we couldn't get the meat cooked. He informed me Javalinas arn't pork they are of the rodant family and the meat is red when cooked. So we invited everyone back over for sandwiches.

Hello Debray,
thanks for looking at the pic's. I was in Corpis about a week or so ago, got there the nite before a cold front. temp droped 30 degrees in about less than an hour and the fish shut down....lol. the wife and I spend a lot of time at SPI, I even bought a bay boat just so we could get to the trout and reds in the bay. If you ever get down to the gulf shoot me a message and maybe we can wet a line and send you home with an icechest full of spec trout.

I just visited your site and it brought back some old memories. I was stationed in Corpis and spent a lot of time at Padri Island.

I fished for sand trout at the breaker wall at the Navel Base and could fill a cooler in a couple hours. Rolled in corm meal and fried they were great.

This was 1970 and they also had a bow only season at Aranzas Wildlife area for boar, javiline, and deer.

There was only 30 NCO's on the Navel base and we were waiting for orders to ship overseas that never came, but it gave me alot of time to fish and hunt.

I planned on staying in Texas untill hurricane Celia hit than I decided to move back to Ohio.
