Doing some catching!

Well, this weekend was a lot of fun, till Sunday arrived.

               Phoenix and I decided to try a new spot out to go catching (yes this time it was catching, not just fishing), at the Canaveral National Seashore, and wow! What a great beach! Not an amazing amount of people there, nice weather, nice beach, nice waves, very cool. We woke up stupid early, and got out there by about 7:30am and caught a good picture of the sun over the water. We planted our poles and chairs, dug up some sand fleas and a few minnows with the cast net, and proceeded to get a nice tan and enjoy the day. We caught 3 whiting and a catfish during the day, but the bad news was that when we took a lunch break, we went to Subway (did I mention that Phoenix is getting addicted to subway), and our tackle box was either lost or stolen, which was a bummer, but we had enough to keep fishing, and we went out had had fun playing in the waves (the water was amazingly nice and cool). Rain came into the picture right after lunch, and poured all around us, but did not hit us directly. It was amazing, you could see the launch towers from Canaveral, but when the rain came, one of them disappeared! But we were blessed with good weather, and caught 4 fish, three whiting and one catfish. I can’t wait to go again next time!

             Sunday on the other hand was miserable. Somehow my back got out of whack on Saturday, and I was in pain and bed bound on Sunday. I got all drugged up, which was almost as bad as the pain, and had pretty much a terrible day. Phoenix was a darling and helped me through the day and cleaned up after the birds all on her own.   Well on to the pictures!
