Jeanne-Marie has been waiting to go on a fishing trip with me for quite some time. We finally had the chance to go and she invited her older sister, Elizabeth-Kay to come along with us. It turned out to be a great day and we caught three fish in about four hours.
This picture to the left is an alligator gar that EK caught while trying to reel in a crab on her line. This is a baby gar and we sent him back into the lake after taking this photo.
Below are the two other fish we caught. The flounder was a nice size about 17″ long and the Red fish was 16″. Both of them are good eating and we would like to thank them both for their contributions to our family diet by offering up themselves to our oven and grill.
There were beau coup boats coming in and out of the harbor channel where we were fishing disrupting the water. Also, when gar fish are around other species tend to run off as well. So we were glad to have caught these fine specimens and look forward to more excursions in the near future.
