Justin, Kevin, Shawn and I spent the weekend fishing in Port O’Connor, TX; just two hours from Houston. This is a small coastal town between Galveston and Corpus Christi.
We had a blast and caught some fish. Unfortunately, you won’t hear any BIG fish stories… We were fishing for speckled trout over 15 inches… much smaller than Marlins we’ve caught in the past! According to the locals, the fish don’t seem to be biting well this year. However, Bo (our guide from MS Guide Service found us the right spot to catch eleven. Sadly enough, the Department of Fishing and Wildlife allows for 10 fish per person/day.
For lunch, we took half our fish to Josie’s Mexican Restaurant. They grilled up our fish for fajitas. For dinner, we took the remaining fish to Clark’s Shrimp House for some fried fish. Good eats!
Below you’ll find some pictures and video proof that the boys caught fish.

Ever find yourself in need of a weekend getaway?
Jenny and I packed up the truck and headed to the Texas Hill Country for the Labor Day weekend. Our itinerary: Austin, Fredericksburg and anywhere in between. We stayed at the historic Driskill Hotel in their fantastic “Governors Suite!” A special thanks to my friends behind the front desk there!
Arriving in the early evening, we stopped at Jenny’s favorite Mexonesian (Mexican & Polynesian) restaurant, the Hula Hut on Lake Travis.
The next day, we headed west to the quaint town of Fredericksburg. Settled long ago by German immigrants, the area is home to numerous wineries (our favorite is the Becker Vineyard), the largest boulder in the USA (Enchanted Rock State Park), and a great little Main Street perfect for spending the day.
If you’re ever on Main Street in Rustlin’ Rob’s Texas Trail Supplies, stay far away from Satan’s Blood hot sauce. Jenny and I like to jazz our foods up with some spice, but a drop of this sauce had us crying for 30+ minutes…
After returning to Austin, we met up with Jenny’s Aunt (thanks for the hospitality Tina & Chris) and ate dinner at Austin’s newest chic restaurant Imperia. A tribute to Asian fusion, Imperia has a contemporary decor, great wine selection and progressive take on Dim Sum.
We had a great time in the Texas Hill Country, loved the live music and cannot wait to return. Until then…
