Mark needed to run a few errands so we took the recycling to the county transfer center. We stopped at the Sportsman’s Wholesale to get a little gear for fishing. Our last stop was to the bait shop at Strickland’s Convenient Store for three dozen shrimp.
Back at the house, we had ham on sourdough with potato chips.
Kenny, from across the street came over about 4 pm and we headed out in the boat. Mark’s use of the Florida Marine Tracks program was very helpful in preventing hitting rocks or oyster bars in the shallow waters. We moved around many of the islands at the edge of the Gulf but didn’t have much success. Kenny caught a nice snook but it wasn’t quite large enough to meet the legal limit. Mark caught a red drum that was too small and had to be released. Finally, Mark caught a sea trout that was within the length acceptable to keep.
By 8 pm, we gave up and came back to the dock. Kenny cleaned Mark’s fish while Mark cleaned the boat and I cleaned gear and put things away.
Cindy had made an Asian chicken salad with toasted Raman noodles and grilled chicken breast. We finished with some of Cindy’s homemade brownies.
