Elections Come and Elections Go … Meanwhile Hope Springs Eternal
By J. Lee Austin, MD
What an interesting time to be alive. Who could have ever guessed that a hair-sniffing, puppet-headed, lame duck figurehead would stoop below previously historic lows long enough to label the folks of the orange opposition as nothing but “garbage” … what a truly tart treat from the grifting chief trickster! Or who could have guessed
Fresh Flounder and More!
By Linda Elissalde
There are many world famous cuisines. However, for some epicureans a whole fresh, fried flounder is hard to beat. We were thrilled when our friend Raquel Silverberg treated us to that wonderful delicacy at Stingaree Restaurant. We eagerly awaited for the door to open at 11:00 am. There was no need for a menu. Roxey cheerfully took

The History and Significance of Veterans Day
Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, commemorates the end of World War I and honors the bravery and sacrifice of military veterans.

Texas Flounder Season Closed to Aid Population Recovery
From November 1 to December 14, Texas anglers will find the flounder season closed. This annual closure, implemented by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), is critical for conserving and bolstering the flounder population. The decision, first made in 2021, comes as a response to significant declines in flounder numbers since the 1980s. The closure coincides with the peak

U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Station Galveston Flotilla
I received word that there was an unoccupied boat similar to the one in the picture below floating loose in Stingaree Marina. By the time I got to the marina someone had rescued the boat and tied it up in a wet stall. I was able to trace the owner using the TX number on the side
Captain Jeff Brandon Fishing Report, 11-5-24
By Captain Jeff Brandon
Surface water temperature 76 degrees, water clarity has been extremely good for East Galveston Bay. We have experienced strong South to Southeast winds this past week, limiting us to fishing the South Shoreline and back in the marsh and back lakes most of the time. We fished Flats with scattered shell around pinch points
Slow Down
By Georgia Osten
Drastically slower pace now that we’re back home. We made the trip home from practically the southern tip of Florida in one day. It’s at least a 14-hour trip no matter how you look at it. We made a slight detour on the way back through Panama City to get out son-in-law to his car – long story, too long. I don’t remember where we were when
