Fishing can be seen as a popular hobby in Port Aransas. This activity is usually more so on 4th of July weekend but in 2018 Independence Day falls on a Wednesday, right in the middle of a work week.

Local business owners in Port Aransas are not too worried about this weekday holiday affecting their business.
