Umm, I would have posted it as a new thread in this, the LoneStar Freeride forum. But, I'm sure a talented mod could move it for you to the appropriate sticky section at the top of this forum. Dirty Birdy, stop diddling with your pre-nup and make it so!

I'll be there for sure... maybe, so should Chum352 and Nizzit. I'll have to put in for some vacation ASAP!!!!
Port A scares me for some reason. I ride just down the beach at Packery Channel and Bobhall pier. A 9 ft Mako washed up one time at the A&M university on the bay and I don't think he came through Packery, lol. Also it seems like the offshore fish are closer in or something, I don't know, I'm just paranoid about that stuff, although I ride where I successfully shark fish some times... Oh well there is safety/emotional security in numbers... Lets do it!

Great red fish hole just North of the North Jetty, croaker skins is what I used to use.

I'll be there bluffskier. When I use to do test flights on Blackhawk helicopters we would fly up and down the coastline. The biggest concentration of sharks I would see is just north of the Port A jetties on St. Joe's island. Tons of them there in between the 2nd and 3rd sandbar. We would see them come to the 1st sandbar as well. If you can see them from 300-400ft up that means they're decent sized. There was a huge manta ray that would hang out between the south Port A jetty and the pier. It would scare the chit out of me if I ever saw it while riding.
Port A wasn't too bad, but definitely saw more there than on Mustang Island/Packery area.....also more concentrations of sharks south of Bob Hall Pier.
Lots of fisherman like to hang out in the area that has been chosen for the freeride. But I don't think it will be a problem if we get there first and rope off the area.....esp. if people will be camping there.

Sharks smarks! They got teeth, we've got 600lbs thrust!
I have dangled my feet out a time or two and wondered. And I have seen a good sized shark out there in flat surf. We'll be fine, just keep those engines brappin' and they'll never get close.
