OK I grew up here, so I know tourism and fishing is big. Real big. I worked at the speedy stop in Lamar for the better part of a year, overnight shift--lots of guides. Some of my high school classmates were guiding within a few years. Memorial day HEB is a traffic jam.
BUT
I moved to fort worth for 8 years, first year back. Now that the water is over 70, there is a new thread every day from someone who hasn't fished or been on the water in months or years who is going and wants a bait ball on a silver platter, and THEY ARE ALL COMING TO ROCKPORT. Judging by this forum, nobody visits anywhere else to fish, they just come to rockport without a clue and hammer the bay. I'm not upset that people like it here, but should I expect to have people fouling hooks in my ballcap every wade from the sheer density of fishermen? Or do they just do like the locals do: wear the costas and PFG shirt and put a salt life sticker on their truck and drink at moondogs and make excuses? Because locals are SURPRISINGLY clueless about catching fish.
Is this normal? I thought Galveston was the hot destination?
