Crazy boondockers on Magnolia Beach on Easter weekend not far from Port O’Connor. No thanks! We tried beach camping last year but wind and sand don’t mix!

Oh yeah, we had a small flood when the fresh water intake valve on our toilet blew while we were out. Thankfully no damage and it did force Dave to clean out our storage compartment which it needed anyways.

Another good sheepshead day. We caught all these off a local dock on the barge canal.

This was taken at the dock where we caught all the sheepshead. The heron was patiently waiting for handouts.

Gotta watch these guys….they’ll steal your bait in a flash if you leave it out

Our first time fishing at dusk at the local fishing pier and I finally caught my first red fish which is why I’m smiling…the thumbs down is because I had to throw it back because it was 1” too short to keep, CRAP!

What creature does this natsy mouth full of teeth belong to?

P4150002

Answer - that good looking sea trout Dave’s holding! Our first trout catch of this stay and yes he’s a keeper. Good to eat but not our favourite.

Finally! My first keeper red fish and isn’t it a pretty one! Fun to catch too! They have to be between 20” and 28” to keep so this one’s about perfect eating size at 23"

Same day I caught that red fish I also caught this 3ft black drum on the jetty. Shocked the hell out of me when it hit, too big to keep though so he got sent out to sea.

Same day I caught my first red fish, Dave also caught his first red fish. His measured 24” and together they provided us with 2 tasty dinners.

A few of the resident ducks at the RV park pond. These 2 big ducks are Indian Runners and the other little one is a female mallard

A few weeks after watching and hearing the poor female mallards being “attacked” by all the males…Babies!
