Ferry between Aransas Pass and Mustang Island To reach Port Aransas (Mustang Island) from the bayside town of Aransas Pass requires a ferry ride. Four or more ferrys like the one pictured here transport automobiles to and from Mustang Island. It is a short ride and only takes a few minutes.

Surf fishing for stingray on Mustang Island A snowbird with a sting ray that he just caught while surf fishing. You can see the both the sting ray barb and its tail. The tail is the long thing while the barb is the much shorter "barb" that is pointed down where the tail meets the body. It is that barb that was thrust into the Crocodile Hunter not long ago by a much larger sting ray.
