CORPUS CHRISTI – A rescue team from the U.S. Coast Guard  medeveced a crew member from a 95-foot fishing boat 38 miles southeast of Port Aransas yesterday.

According to USCG, watchstanders at Sector/Air Station Corpus Christi received a request Monday evening from the captain of the Lady Jennie, after a crewmember reportedly suffered a head injury.
