me and a buddy paddled out to the rock garden from the light house yesterday and got caught coming back at low tide, it was a disaster. we walked 2 miles in the marsh dragging our yaks........in the pitch dark. another lesson learned. I wonder how many its gonna take. o well it sure was cool seeing those stars above and the bio-iridescence below.

Wow... Glad you didn't step on a sting ray, get cut up on shells, or walk up on a surprised or ornery poisonous snake or gator. I don't mean to be too critical but the tides and sunset are fairly predictable. Leave yourself an extra hour or more buffer when planning your time to make sure you are back at the ramp safely and not wandering around in the dark out there.

Rhettley is right...especially about sting rays. I fish the area close to shore between the lighthouse and rock garden. I see plenty of rays around there. I also saw a BIG shark on my way out of stony bayou at low tide one day. It was big enough to make a wake like a submarine behind it.

Glad to see yall made it back ok.
