The water was perfect for swimming and tourists wanting a postcard picture but when fishing it’s better if things are a bit imperfect. Me and the boys caught 40 or so of three or four different species over the three days. The best part was them being there and them putting up with my obsession. But there had been no real satisfaction. Even after we had loaded the cart with all the gear and were making the last long walk toward the car I noticed some activity toward the shallows. The boy sighed as I grabbed my rod and reel again. He sat down on a bench and waited and looked at his phone. Little did he know that I had been waiting for three days for this. It’s part of fishing and life that you have to have a hook in the water when the fish are there. The deal is that you get no prior notice so all you can do is keep casting. The promise is that if you keep casting you WILL catch a fish. That is life. So today take hope and keep casting. What you are fishing for will be by that way. If you don’t give up you will be there casting when it comes.
Last fish in the last minutes of the three days fishing. I let him go. 27 inches is the legal limit and he was thirty+. Very Groovy!
Cool 🙂
Just got a rod for surf fishing..haven’t caught anything yet, but lovin’ it!!! 😄😄 nice catch!!!!
I was leaving the pier. Saw a school of reds herding baitfish. Dropped a cigar minnow and he ate it. He was too big to keep. Post some pictures please when you go fishing. Pompano will be running looking for sand fleas. And the reds. But I fish the gulf when I get the chance. Dint know if its the sane where you are
Drum and stripper are running now…and they’re catching flounder in the bay……went yesterday,,few hits but didn’t catch anything…
Its so fun just to be there. I spent fiurteen hours on the pier Saturday. Not much going on but I enjoyed every second
Exactly…..the sun was shining,..the Dolphins and Pelicans are back,,so I was a happy gal!! 😄
But the dolohins were chasing the fish away. 🙂 they were around and spooked the mackerel. Every time they showed up the fishing died
Well that makes sense…lol. I guess next time I go I’ll have to hope no Dolphins!!
Trade offs
Yep….there’s a fish out there with my name on it 😄😄😄
I like that you fish
I’ve enjoyed it ever since I was a young girl…was one of the ways I coped and escaped……..
Me too
Now it’s a pleasurable escape 😊
Went fish once and really enjoyed it.
Love your “philosophy about life and fishing.” 😀 I just read it to Drollery. He was duly impressed with the fish! (Btw, if you have a picture that won’t right itself when you paste it in, you can go to picmonkey.com, click edit and choose your picture, then tell it to rotate it. Resave it and you should be good to go for posting. Works slick as snot on a door knob. 😉 )
I will try to fix it
He was a big fish! I’ve never been fishing. Looks fun.
Would love to take you one day.
