Do any of you go out and pick up your own oysters? I've been doing that since the mid 70's. Not much around Jones Lake/West Bay area - the spoil islands were great before the out-of-state boys obliterated Confederate Reef and the oyster drills killed off the spoil reefs. Bastrop Bay and East Bay I still hit both of them and you can be selective in what you keep as long as they are 3" in size and you don't take more than 2 sacks.No more than two sacks of legal oysters may be possessed per person. A sack is defined as 110 pounds of oysters including the sack.

The wife and I do this quite a bit. I look for the low tide when the front blows it out (like right now) and hit it up with a few milk crates, a hammer and chisel and get a bunch. Eat a lot fresh and freeze the rest. Enjoy them baked, in soup/gumbo, and fried year-round. There are plenty of good reefs in upper W. Bay. I just walk in but if you wanted to take a boat you would have even more options.Do any of you go out and pick up your own oysters?

That sounds fun and have thought about it but i have been afraid of getting hepatitis or the malay waste away or creeping crude , or something . I once saw a guy banging away at exposed oysters in bastrop and talked to a guy who was gathering oysters along the banks of the diversionary canal . He said he had been doing it for years .GEORGE A.

Milkjug , i never heard of freezing oysters . How are they after thawing ? Probably not so good to eat raw but ok for cooking ? The consistancy the same ?GEORGE A. BRANARD, COLOR SERGEANT, CO. L, 1 ST TEXAS INFANTRY, HOOD'S TEXAS BRIGADE, C.S.A. : S.C.V.
