Rolling out a cast to the grassy edge of the salt-marsh settled my streamer right on top of a swirl left by a feeding trout, when, after a few quick line jerks, the reaction for the action "imploded" on it bowing the fly rod to the fight of speckled silver.

Massaging my jig along the bottom as it drifted with the tide I could feel every grain of sand and click of shell as it thumped its way along a submerged sandbar. Then, a sudden, aggressive “TIC” triggered my hook-set into a big fish, a strong fish. Arching rod and a reset drag prepared me for a long, hard fight…. “Gulp” had paid off for me again with a nice 22inch doormat sized flounder coming to net.

American White Pelican - (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) - Awkward but amusing to watch when waddling about on land, but surprisingly graceful to observe when in flight or water-born, the white pelican, as clumsy as it can be is as majestic as it is. The White Pelican are migratory birds, spending their summers northward and wintering southward, are rather large feathered creatures that journey to the Bolivar area around mid October.

12th Annual Peninsula Bike Drive Christmas is around the corner which means it's time for The Precinct 6 Constable's Office and Bolivar Peninsula Chamber of Commerce to start collecting donations for our 12th annual Peninsula Bike Drive. This function has always been something we have enjoyed doing, but it wouldn't happen without help from the whole community. With hard economic times, this year it will be extremely tough for many families to put gifts under the tree for their children. If you are able, please help put a smile on a child's face for Christmas. Donations can be sent to Pct 6 Constables Office, PO Box 680, Port Bolivar, Tx. 77650. PLEASE MAKE ALL PAYMENTS PAYABLE TO: The Bolivar Peninsula Chamber of Commerce.
Thank you, William Comeaux
