Send the gaff


Mark Darnell of Port Aransas caught this redfish on Wednesday, June 1. He has been fishing these waters for more than 20 years. He remembers when the pier had three t-heads, was longer than the jetty and when it reached as far as the blue water. When fishermen would catch a fish, they would send word to the pier house by yelling to the next person on the pier, all the way to the pier house to ‘Send the gaff!’ COURTESY PHOTO Mark Darnell of Port Aransas caught this redfish on Wednesday, June 1.
