Back in the late 1940's or early 1950's my father was fisheg there in Port Isabel at a old fishing place where they put in the boats, it was named "Malones". It was beside the causeway, the old one, close to the light house there. Fishing at night under the flood lights they would put their fish on a stringer but then a shark came by and took the whole string one night. The next night it did the same thing. Third night my father baited a big hook and when the shark hit it shook the whole pier. He drug the shark to shore and they shot it several times with a 22. If you go to Rio Hondo you can take a short drive to Arroyo City, on the Arroyo Colorado River. My great grandmothers half brother had a house there we later bought. During the hurricane in the 1970's the house was torn up and the next door neighbor lost hers. Her name was "Mrs. Porter". She rebuilt her house with burlap bags filled with cement and then washed together. The house is still there, was white with pink trim. 15 years since I been down there but loved the place. There was a restaurant at Arroyo City called "The Warf", wonder if its still there. Didnt much care for the "no see ems" (pesky little knat that bites). Still nothing like fishing under the flood lights and just enjoying the outdoors.
