It's Fish Bucket Time

B-U-C-K-E-T - pronounced Bouquet

-and if you don't know that silly reference, you don't watch enough British Comedy

While the beach was sure pretty to look at yesterday, it was dangerous to set foot in. So OC my son came home and announced that he wanted to go fishing. Sigh. I've created a monster!

I did ask him if we could wait until the heat index dropped below 100, to which he said "yes". So at 430pm we packed up and hit the pier. I love that Pier! Long story short, it was a super evening of fishing. We had super company and great conversation. (ICK ALERT) We also rallied when a woman put a two in long tri-hook into her index finger! I steadied her, while the Florida Fish and Wildlife guy pushed the hook all the way through, and then used my pliers to cut off the barb and then back the hook out. Phew. POOR thing. We watched as she and her DH left the night of fishing for a tentus shot.

While we went out for Kings and Spanish, there were only a few to be found. One man did take home a 42" plus King. So we opted for bait fishing. I'd much rather be catching bait, than nothing at all. Boy did I put my foot in it with that comment! We caught over 80 fish in 2.5 hours! All hardtails, but for one ramoray and one 10 inch hyperactive Bonita. We were giving out bait fish as fast as we could pull it out of the water !

Last night's sunset was stunning, and the moon rise was glorious! It was big, full, and BRIGHT orange!

Y'all have a great and safe day!
