Recommendations?

[Mike Hill]

Its now official. Next week, taking my Dad to Rockport/Aransas area to do some redfishing and trout fishing. Booked flight, booked guide, but would like recommendations for a fisherman's hotel and places to eat and to get coffee. Charlotte Plummers is a fer certain. One of Dad's favorite places even though he has not been in 30 years.

Last few times I've been down there has been on duck hunts with Blast & Cast Men's Ministry. They rent the entire place we stay at, and it is quite nice and comfortable. Pelican Bay Resort Not a 5 star by any means but pretty cool especially if you get one of their cabanas. Food? Everybody hits The Boiling Pot. I've never been to it. I've been to Moondog Seaside Eatery more than a few times. Have fun and photos please

Last time I spent a week in Port A we rented a home with a dock. Not the Hilton but nice enough. We had a great time.

It's been 10 years at least so the details are fuzzy but there was a breakfast place licated very close to a road and an odd-turn intersection serving the best South Texas style breakfast that I've ever had. Wish that I could remember the name & location to share with you. It was well-known and quite busy. Not sure if we were in Rockport ot PA at the time.

Ohhh, like minds. Pelican Bay Resort was the place I was thinking about. But did not see anything about cabanas

Update: ok I was looking at Pelican Bay Inn - that's why no cabanas.

Pox upon ya! Dad really likes his breakfast tacos and migas - well so does Lil Mikey! Did a quick search - possibly Rositas or Arnadas? both are in Rockport. Arnadas seems to be close to some weird intersection.

If you figure it out write a review on the breakfast and post a picture of the sign so that I can find it again.

Have fun with Dad!

I've never been down in that area, but usually your guide is fairly local and is a good source of info where to stay and eat. Explain your budget or specific desires and he/she will usually be able to provide some ideas.

Asked him about a place to stay and he balked at suggesting someplace. - but there is a ton of good places. Was hoping to find some outta the way fisherman's haven.
