    No... lol no problem... Just mad b/c they took away my nice drive... I used to enjoy cruising from SLP to Rusty Hook on the beach... We used to make that drive grab washed up wood and build bonfires during the winter out there... We'd dig a hole 4' deep and fill it up with firewood anything we could find that would burn nice really...

    No need to stop... I'm upset they took away our driving rights on the beach but it was bound to happen... I think they should allow it like Jamaica does that on weekends and holidays no driving on beach any other time is okay... Can't tell you what a PITA it is to have to drag 5 surf rods and 20lbs of gear down to the beach when we used to pull up and use the truck as our rod holders... Its also one reason SLP has gotten so crowded...

    Don't worry about getting banned... I'm on your side I got some pull around this site lol

    That exact subject on the exact stretch of beach got me banned for more than a year at the other web site ! I too, am very passionate about that beach and I should just shut-up right now.

    No Sandy, over on the Galveston side on the peninsula. The ones responsible for taking my driving priviledges away from the Rusty Hook on down.

    How'd the development at the Pass fair? I always thought that was the worst place to build.

    We are working to get power restored to our place, but my buddies place in Palm Beach has power so I might be able to crash there and jump aboard... Appreciate the offer and I'm sure Jason (Crappieman) would be down...

    Man, thanks for the real time info!
    I don't think I can trailer my flounder rig through those conditions, wash-outs but I think I can make it down a 4 mile stretch of beach. I've got a weeks worth of time coming up to be free after this Friday so If you or crappieman want to make a night / gigging trip, conditions permitting I should be all a go.

    You can drive it 2112... Unclehandy said that there are white steaks marking the road, washouts with big drop offs where the road washed away for 4 miles they said you have to go down the beach cause there is no road... Drive slowly do it during the day and stay in between the white stakes, before they put them up a state trooper went into one of the washouts they said... You can make it from Galveston side...

    Can I drive to the pass yet? I can only guess the road, Blue Water hwy is washed out at places.

    So far the only place Ive launched is dickinson bayou and have run up into the flood gates...Im really wanting badly to launch at that Brazoria county park at SLP.

    Went down to the west end to try to salvage some lumber for Coach Law's camp and ran into BeachBumBailey at his house. He was having some fun on a bobcat clearing the MASSIVE pile of debris from around his house. From the 4 days since I'd made the trip to Sea Isle I could tell that all of the trash piles were getting smaller. There are more and more people getting down there to clean up and get things back in order. I still can't believe that my buddy had power at his house. Water looked great and we were kicking ourselfs for not bringing our fishing gear, but we were on a mission that was pretty sucessful I might add.
