Fishing the Gulf

Started the day fishing the Gulf - set up with some bait rigs (remembered to bring the rigs this time) and before I had the 2nd one set up, we had a whiting on the beach. And that's pretty much how the morning went - one fish right after another. Had a slight disaster when one of the lines got tangled with another while Terry was trying to rescue a rod that almost got dragged into the waves. So as I was untangling them, the sand spike washed into the surf - nuts!
Fortunately we had a couple spikes so we were still able to catch fish. Now we were releasing all the fish we caught considering we'll be on the road Sunday - but before we realized it, other fishermen were coming over to "chat" - actually to find out what we were doing to catch so many fish - that felt really good,
So now we may go back tomorrow with our strategy to see if it really works - different rigs (more sensitive) and fresher shrimp could make a difference - if only the bad weather they've predicted holds off.
