Tried Quintana and Bryan Beach this morning with no success. Then rode Surfside Beach on Follett's Island up toward Galveston. I found the Gull loafing on the beach with Herring's and Ringbills as companions about 3 PM, 4.7 miles from where you get on the beach at Surfside. Many thanks to Mark Bartosik for really helping me with the location and to Tripp Davenport for posting yesterday, thus giving me hope for success.
