Blackbeards on the Beach maybe? Wasnt as bad as it looked. Seemed to be serving more beer than food lol. I am old Corpus Boy too. Born there and moved to Graham at age five..then to Whiskeyta Falls for High School..and back to Corpus in the highly petroleleums. Used to be the best chow in the area came from the Kings inn at Rivera. Black Diamond Oyster Bar was popular. We moved off for good in 74 and been back once since that time. Things have changed. They really screwed up North Beach..got rid of of all the good Coastie bars..tatoo parlors and hooer houses..the carnival etc. Now dumb yankees go to watch big fish jump through firey hoops. It just aint the same. lol.

Kings Inn!

Back in our days down there early 70s...a person could catch some flounder the size of the steering wheel on a grey hound bus...by doing a litte wade fishing around the base of the uprights of the 2nd Bridge on PR-53 headed from Corpus to Port Aransas..if you used a split shot sinker and live shrimp. Dead shrimp not overly popular with those critters.

Kings Inn!

Always got a good meal in there. Did get a bit disillusioned when I got there a bit early for lunch one day and watched all the refer trucks with Louisana License Plates come to deliver their fish. Guess I was the only dummy in town who thought they were getting the stuff from around Corpus.
