I remember when Horace Caldwell pier went out tw8ce as far as it does now. At one time, it was advertised as the "Longest pier on the Gulf Coast" . Then in 1970, the pier was heavily damaged by Huricane Celia, and it was rebuilt as a much shorter version. The pre 1970 Horace Caldwell pier went out about as far as the jetties did, and had two sets of T-heads. I saw a lot of huge kings, jacks, and sharks caught off of the end of that pier back then.

Back in the late 1960's, we use to spend the night out on the very end of the pier as our parents fished and fished and fished. We loved it more than anything! We would walk between the jetty and the pier, getting our sun tans and picking up shells and Sand Dollars! Port Aransas is STILL my all time favorite beach, even with the unfavorable changes going on now. Charlie's Pasture will never be the same either 😢

They used the metal brackets on the benches to keep people from sleeping or laying down at Cole Park. At least that's what it looks like to me. Great job. Thanks

We did show up in numbers to ensure the two pylon design was adhered to, but it wasn't just for us.The dual pylon design creates better habitat for fish as well as deeper guts which are beneficial for both of us. We want a pier that serves the local population first, and the tourists second. Good to see ya back up on the Tube! Fish on🤙🏼

Cole park Pier is impressive. Many years ago cole park was not a place to be, drugs. No tables or pier or anything. They really cleaned it up and made great improvements.

Went to Indian point pier this past Friday and fished the bank. My wife caught a hardhead and I caught a 15 or 16 inch redfish that I let go using Dead shrimp. Saturday night went to causeway pier and red dot pier were packed didn't catch anything to many poles in the water but I did see someone catch a good size speckled trout and a drum I had a couple bites on Dead shrimp but didn't hook up on anything ended up leaving.

NICE VIDEO SIR! Thank you very much on the updates on the piers. I grew up on that water. It's amazing what Corpus did with Cole Park and Indian Point. Its been years since I've been there. (I am 54 years old now and remember sleeping on those piers with my brothers for days on end waiting on that big run). TOO MANY trips and memories since the 70s. Fixing to make a run to Corpus this weekend to see my family. 1st stop, Cole Park to chunk a nice piece of mullet out. Maybe next time you are down there, you can comment and show the history behind OSO pier.

February should be good for fishing. March the winds start to pick up so you might have rough surf with water clarity pretty bad. The best fishing months are from late September through February when the surf is calmer on some days and the water is clearer. The bays you should be good to go just the wind in March
