Arrived at the State Park around 1:30pm.. wanted to use my new trolling motor on my yak and hunt some redfish. When I pulled up to the park gate to pay my entrance fee, the lady warned me about a No Swim Advisory. The gate attendant provided me with the following advisory prior to paying.
NOTICE
TODAY 6/8/06, A NO SWIMMING ADVISORY was issued by the TexasBeach watch for GalvestonIslandState Park.
When an area of beach shows elevated levels of bacteria a no swimming advisory is posted. When an advisory is posted the beach is NOT closed. An advisory is simply issued to inform the public of elevated bacteria level so each person can make an informed choice to swim or not to swim in those waters affected. Once elevated bacteria levels are detected a water sample is taken daily Monday - Friday until the tests return to normal. At which time the advisory will be lifted.
Further questions may be directed to the Park Headquarters at 409-737-1222, the Galveston County Health District at www.ghcd.org or 409-938-2251 or the Texas Beach Watch at http://www.glo.state.tx.us/coastal/beachwatch/
Now for the fishing report.. 3 undersized reds.. to 19" all caught on 3" new penny Gulp Shrimp. Tried to use the same color gulp crab, but kept having issues with weeds.
