Halloween Treats

Up early to fish

Three slot reds at the jetty

And flounder to eat.

14 inch flounder, just right to stuff for supper

I caught 3 of these slot reds; Bill is envious, but he will share in the feasting.

Sunsets

October 28:

Just before sunset
Clouds gathering in the west
Still the light breaks through.















October 29:
Sunset on the beach
Another magnificent
Orange Beach display.

6:13 pm

6:28 pm

Redfish in the surf, only about a foot. He went back to grown bigger.

Earlier in the day, we drove to Ft. Pickens on Pensacola Beach (Santa Rosa Island) to watch another Blue Angel practice session. They flew right over our heads.

Four days of fishing

The weather has been perfect for fishing, calm water, light breeze, temperature just right. We trolled and lost another plug on when something took it hard and fast. It eventually broke before spooling all the line. We fished the jetties in the morning and the pass in the evenings, except Saturday.

20 pounds, 35 inches, caught on a pinfish, under the bridge at 6:25 pm

Big fish, bigger fun.

Blue Angels

Blue Angels screaming

Trailing roller-coasters high

Against deep blue sky.

No luck

No luck catching fish.

Caught plenty of sun and wind,

Lost some tackle, too.

Quiet Sabbath

A quiet Sabbath

The storm of children has passed

Peace and quiet reign.
