Took my 3 grown daughters to Galveston's West End on Saturday afternoon (3-30-13). Nana stayed at home taking care of our 4-month old grandson.
It was windy, but nice to get out on the water. We fished from the bank using dead shrimp and cut squid.
We caught a several small croaker. Kept 1 large one. Caught 7 puppy drum and 2 hard heads. My youngest daughter was down from Texas A&M for Easter and she caught a 20 1/2" redfish using a flounder rig with dead shrimp. The fish fought hard. She was using her new Zebco 733 reel on an ultra light 7' Uglystix that I bought her for her 21st birthday last month. It ran on her 3-4 times but in the end she won. Afterwards she said her heart was beating a mile a minute.
The hook was barely holding on the fish' lower lip. Another 30 sec and that fish would still be swimming in West Bay.
Took the 2 fish home and filet them. Cooking them tomorrow evening.
Here's a few pics of the nice red.
Smiling Aggie Girl. She graduates in May this year and is getting married in October. Her fiancee is in the Corp of Cadets and contracted Army. He's taking our baby girl far away.
We enjoyed some Shrimp and Stuff po boys at Jamaica Beach. There's a small trailer right next to the car wash that makes the best shrimp and crab ball po boys. Instead of eating in town you can get your Shrimp and Stuff hookup in Jamaica Beach!
My girls said they really enjoyed the afternoon. They said is was nice to catch fish, but they would have still enjoyed it because they spent time with their dad and sisters. Made me feel good.
