Shrimp Gossip and Catch Reports From Port Isabel
A coastal gossip column from Port Isabel details shrimp landings and boat activity on South Shore Drive. The piece notes creditors, local boats like Miss Ruth and Capitan Isabel, and weekly landings ranging from 20 to 44 barrels across multiple firms. It ends with a Port Isabel Press tease about continuing reports and a 20 000 passenger count for the Vera Cruze cruise.
