Fishing on Tuesday

On Tuesday, (5/12), we went deep sea fishing. Our boat was the Marisol II, with Captain Nick and 1st mate Ricky. We had to be on the boat by 6:30 am to leave the pier. It was a rather cold morning and we were all bundled up. But by 10:00 the sun was out and the day was a little warmer. By 8:00 Dave caught the first fish of the day, a striper, and pretty good size as you can see by the picture. Next at 9:30, I caught a small striper, but it had to be thrown back.... too small to keep (oh well, maybe the next one).. Next at 10:30, Karen caught a whopper of a mackerel, it was a beauty and made for a good dinner. Then at 10:50, Neil caught a small mackerel, but it was too small to keep and had to be thrown back also. (maybe the next one). At 11:10, Tammy caught a doozy of a mackerel, definitely a keeper. Enough to feed all of us that evening. Then at 11:30, lookout, I finally caught my mackerel. It wasn't as large as the others, but a nice one. At least my dignity was saved. Last but not least at 11:45, George finally caught his fish, but the little striper was too small to keep. Not to worry. we had enough to take down to Captain Tony's for our dinner. And feast like kings we did. In fact the next morning for breakfast we had the rest of our fish with our eggs for breakfast. YUMMY !!!
