Your kids are braver than I am when it comes to handling fish.
Great times!

I vote for the Drake buried in the sand or the 2 girls holding up the ladyfish as my favorite pic of the bunch.
Was that a small barracuda? Do you have any more pictures of it?

Some nice eating fish there!
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Some pics from yesterday. Justin caught this nice redfish!  This guy was watching us catching fish so we taught him how to catch pinfish for bait and how to fish for the big reds. He casted out his first big live bait and was battling this monster bull red within 30 seconds! We helped him get it gaffed just in the nick of time, his hook was just about straight.  Jalepeno stuffed bacon wrapped shrimp.  Mae is a fish catching machine!

Looks simply Great to me! Except for one thing!
You should have stuffed the Jalapeño with all the great fixins!
Seeds in, seeds out, every man for them self! Grill them a bit, and peel the skin off and munch down.
Not an experience you will forget, But Great!

Very cool Natester, you made that guys day. You know what they say, teach a man to fish....

There were a couple other guys down there observing as well that night. Then when we go back to fish last night the 'other' guys had already set up shop with many of their friends. They were not quite so friendly and we just stayed away. was kind of a bummer to watch them catch 5 big redfish.
we did catch a whole bunch of fish, just not the big reds.
