Thanks for the pics, they bring back memories...
I used to live close to Galveston on/off as a child, I climbed all over those granite boulders at the Dyke and Jetties back then.
Nowadays when I head down South, the dates are set about a month in advance, and are a one-day trip there and back, so I can't really plan my collecting adventures by the weather and I won't have time to go over to Galveston, so I only go to the closest beaches- in Freeport. This allows me to have an hour or two at the beach and still have time to make the 250 mile drive back home.....( mainly a chance to stretch out/walk before the long drive, as well as find possible goodies for my tank)
I hope to take a long weekend off this summer with my family, that's when I'll definitely head to Galveston ....and collect!!
This upcoming trip will be in late march- so a beach visit will simply depend on if its raining or not, but I had seen where someone had posted about collecting at Surfside Beach.
Would a marsh possibly be better than a jetty that early in Spring for finding much variety, especially if the wind/waves are choppy, or if it has rained/stormed pretty recently???
Thanks.
