First Fishing Trip of 2008

Well here are a few pictures of our first fishing trip of the 2008 season. Ricky and I took the day off...I actually had to go to the doctor for my arm...that is another story for another day...Anyway, we took off and Grandma picked the kids up from school around 11:00 am. We got a boat from Ricky's parents last year. It is a really nice bay boat...the parents love it anyway. We went out of Galveston and went to the jetties. We all caught something...Rich caught the Gafftop (catfish in saltwater) on his Spiderman pole. Grandma helped reel it in as Rich would have probably been pulled overboard. Emily caught a crab...she let it go in the boat and then screamed...she is such a girl. I didn't fish a whole lot due to my arm, but did put the pole in the water...I didn't catch anything. Ricky had the big catch of the day...he is kissing is Black Drum...kind of like a Redfish, only black. We got to see several wild dophins in the bay out by the jetties. We all had a really nice day. I have to remember SUNSCREEN...yes, I took it, but didn't apply to myself or the kids...way to go!!!!!!!!!!! It was hard going to work the next day pretending to be sick...ha, ha.
