Across from Galvez- Family Day

mdrobe2 · 08-31-2008, 12:29 AM

I was up to my usual weekend afternoon routine today that many of you are familiar with because of my earlier posts- on an island across from Galvez Landing. I had my niece, my sister, my girlfriend, and my grandmother with me. We had a good time swimming, listening to the radio in the boat, grilling burgers on the portable grill, and fishing. I wasn't serious about the fishing- just fished out of a sand spike with my trout rod. Used a sliding sinker/live finger mullet combination. 1 skipjack and 2 trout, one of which was decent. I had the rod like50 feet away from where we beached becauseI was trying to fish my mullet on sandy bottom adjacent to grass. Those of you who actually catch fish know why. Here's a succession of photos for y'all...

That fish was pretty small and of course I let it go. Then I started playing catch with my niece...note my PFF T shirt!

I rebaited with another finger mullet and got a decent speck...

So that fish was more than 20 inches butI really don't know how big- not real huge. Anyway, here's the reason we went...

My niece had fun!
