Officially I went on my first and last "fishing trip" of the season. Yes I have been to the beach at least 4 times this summer and yes I have helped drag fishing stuff to and from the beach but I just sat and read a magazine and did nothing to really help. So Daniel and I went to the beach to actually get on a boat and fish. Jean texted me to bring warm clothes. Thankfully I did. Anyways.. the weather was to be so pretty! We got out of the condo at 7 on Monday to get to the boat and get on the water. This was my first time fishing on a boat. I took motion sickness pills just in case. Anyways.... we got our act together to get out on the water. It was FREEZING on the water. My toes... I couldnt feel them from about 7-12. When we were in the inlet, Randy drove the boat and Jean told him where to go to get baby fish. We caught some with a net and I helped put them in the holding station.The fish were slimey and did not want to work in my favor.
We then went and caught a few larger fish and then went drum fishing. There were quite a few boats out there. We drove around Jean ended up catching a 44 inch drum. But seriously... it could have been bigger. We just did not have a ruler that measured that big! I have never in my life seen such a big fish up close. Totally awesome! It took at least 10 minutes to get the fish in. The fish bent the net as we were getting it into the boat. Anyways... after catching that fish, there were blue's, and some others that were caught but that was really the best part of the day on the boat. I did not get sick at all. Just a bit cold.
Later that day, we ended up going to dinner at Snooky's. All of our food was amazing! Seriously, if we go back again, I am totally going to get the fried green tomatoes as my dinner... and get a side of fried green tomatoes for desert! It came with basalmic reduction and some cheese. By the time we got back to the condo, I went to bed at 830 and slept til 730 the next day. Fishing is hard work!
Day two consisted of me going on a walk, heading to the outlets, then the pool for some r&r. Everyone else went fishing again. I had a great time just having me time. Sometimes at home I get caught up with everything else and forget to make some me time. There is ALWAYS something to do at home. At the condo... not so much. The pool was tech closed so I did not get in the water and I really did not want to get all sandy walking to the ocean. When everyone came back from fishing, we went to get burgers and then froz yo for dinner. I had to scoot out of there by 5 to get home to take care of the cats, get to bed at a decent time, get ready for an 8 day work week.
