One of the most thrilling sights
Ive ever Been on the water Is the
shrimp boats coming in Recently
at Port Aransas I watched these
trawls one after another moving
slowly but majestically through the
pass to make their way in or out
between the bay waters and the gulf
As each loaded boat moved through
the pass it was followed by
literally thousands of gulls They
have learned they can pick up the
dead shrimp being knocked off the
boats They are an enthusiastic welcoming
committee
Hundreds of these boats work through
the Aransas Pass in season and
the season is when shrimping Is
good Otherwise they are tied to
moorings or docked in the basin at
Aransas Pass or some other Texas
portYou
You might wonder what this has
to do with an outdoors column It
has plenty to do because shrimping
in one form or another has so much
to do with our whole coastal fishing
program
Naturally shrimping is a major
commercial operation on the Texas
coast from Port Arthur to Browns
ville Shrimp likewise is one of the
principal baits to be found on the
coast
Admittedly not too much is known
for sure about the shrimp except
that they are getting in shorter
supply every year There are many
reasons for this and these reasons
all affect the salt water fisherman
Take the shrimp out of our Texas
bays and we no longer have trout
red fish and many others that we
now take on rod and reel
Take the shrimp out and commercial
netting also is shot in the
coastal waters and millions will not
have fish for their tables
I know practically nothing about
shrimping but there are many others
who have lived on the coast all
their lives wholl also admit there
Is still a great deal to be learned
Even the men in the shrimping business
admit they arc in the dark
about many of the fundamental pro
blems affecting the shrimp Increment
or its disappearance
These men in the industry also
are in violent disagreement over
some aspects A few of them would
close shrimping in baywaters for a
year Others think the bay waters
should be closed from January to
July They point out that the big
shrimp caught during the months of
January February and March contain
thousands of eggs They apparently
are on their way to Inshore
to breed When they are caught
they are removed from productivity
and the shrimp population decreasesThere are laws now limiting
the size of trawls and the size of
shrimp and also the amount in possession
in some areas They are
more or less a hodgepodge depend

ing on what local legislation might
bo passed under pressure
One of the problems on the Texas
coast now is the taking of too many
shrimp that nro too small The law
provides that tho count must not
be more than G3 to the pound yet
there nro thousands of pounds of
smaller shrimp being taken Packers
aro having to buy these small
shrimp under protest They say if
they dont buy what the fisherman
brings in holl go elsewhere with
the desirable catch As a result thousands
of pounds of these small
shrimp are being processed dally
and canned for the commercial marketIt Is generally agreed that tho
shrimp catch has gone up in the
last few years because there are
more fishing units Wo nro getting
more shrimp from the Mexican waters
Dut it also is agreed that unless
something can be done to protect
our Inshore waters from losing
all the small shrimp our inshore
fish will be out of food
Wed all lose and lose heavily under
those circumstances
And speaking of fishing with
shrimp I recently had a wonderful
trip to Port Aransas The Boatmans
Association there entertained a
group of outdoor writers with a fishing
trip The weather was very bad
so we didnt get into much water
We did our fishing with shrimp
in the bay waters and several of the
boys came away with a nice mess
of speckled trout
I can recommend speckled trout
fishing for anyone In the first place
it is a comparatively easy fishing
trip There are ample accommodations
along the Texas coast You
can fish in the bay waters cither
wading off the jetties or piers or

AMERICAS HIGHEST SAND PILE
GREAT SAND DUNES NATIONAL
MONUMENT
Tall pondersa pines stand naked
their bark whipped off by tho prevailing
winds which carry natures
chisels of tiny grains of sand These
trees were smothered by the unceasing
movements of one of the worlds
most spcctacualr sand dunes within
Great Sand Dunes National Monument
in tho San Luis Valley of
south central Colorado
Equal in size to the state of Connecticut
some 5000 square miles in
nrea the San Luis Valley is bordered
on the west by the vast La Grita
and San Juan mountain ranges
and on the cast by the formidable
from boats Many Tcxans now arc
trailing their outboards to the coast
and finding excellent sport fishing
Another thing you dont have to
buy more tackle You can fish for
trout with your bass equipment
Furthermore you can use either
shrimp or lures Most of those who
go to the coast for the first time
like to free shrimp Thy use a
small treble hook Just back of the
eye of the shrimps head is a black
or brown spot This is the toughtcst
part of the shrimp Put your hook
through the shrimp head at this
point cast it into the water and let
it run free Chances are if you
set your hook in time youll come
in with a trout
These trout also arc called weakfish
because the mouth is very tender
Dont jerk the hook out of its
mouth Work it In easily
Of course there are many other
angles to successful trout fishing
like being able to locate their movement
cither from watching them
move about in the water or watching
the gulls feed But you can learn
a lot about coastal fishing in a short
time and youll never learn it all
as long as you live

barrier of the Sangro do Cristo
Range Hero is n very unique setting
for such an expanse of one of
natures truly wondrous creations
50 square miles of the highest dunes
In tho United States somo 800 to
1000 feet above tho valley floor
Any description of the majesty and
elegance of the Great Sand Dunes
is inadequate to convey a true impression
to those who have never
seen them and a recognizable disappointment
to those who havo viewed
these strange vagabonds on tho
earths surface The best descriptive
phrase I could use would be that
they appear to bo a sublime creation
of contrasts
Standing on the crest of one dune
and gazing across miles of sandy
waves fantastically arranged as no
artist could hope to synthesize on
canvas one finally sees their termination
at tho base of the forest
clad mountains which rise to snow
covered heights of 14000 feet and
more in the clear blue of a Colorado
skyThe
The formation of the Great Sand
Dunes gigantic in size and area
away from ocean or lakes presents
a problem To find an answer we
must go back nearly GO million
years to a period when many crust
al movements were taking place in
the Rocky Mountain region Mountain
ranges were being uplifted and
between them a downwarping of
the land occurred forming a basin
the San Luis Valley
Streams did their never ceasing
work by carrying sediment from the
mountains and depositing it on the
valley floor In this way during mil
lions of years a great bed of sandy
silt accumulated in the valley For
ages this has been blown by prevail
ing southwesterly winds When the
silt laden wind reaches the Sangrc
dc Cristo Mountains it rises and
funnels through several low passes
In doing so it loses velocity and
drops the sand at the baso of the
mountains This is the process that
has created the Great Sand Dunes
The first to perceive these barren
hills were an ancient people
whom wc call Folsom Man Some
10000 years ago Folsom Man camped
at the edge of the dunes and
hunted the large mammals that then
roamed the San Lusi Valley
Human occupancy in the area
seems to have been almost continuous
from that time on as is shown
by archeological evidence In more
recent times the Ute Comanche
and other plains nomads lived and
hunted in this same area An abundance
of grinding tools testify to
the fact that some of these Indians
subsisted on wild seeds and perhaps
the nuts of the pinon pine
Lt Zebulon M Pike was the first
American to record his impressions
of the Great Sand Dunes On Jan
28 1807 he described them in his
journal as appearing exactly as a
sea in a storm except as to color
Many times in the late afternoon the
view is exactly as Pike described it
On March 17 1932 President Hoover
proclaimed this area Great
Sand Dunes National Monument
and another area was added to our
national park and monument system
to be preserved intact for this
and future generations
