Went up to the Budden's camp on Friday afternoon to fish on Saturday. His old roommate Nick Maxoux and one of his fraternity brothers came with us. When we got there around 6pm on Friday, we immediately took the boat to go fishing for live bait for us to use on our trip. We made it up to this pier and started casting out our net and caught some croakers. Alligators would come right up to us. Humans were not scared of alligators, and vice versa.
Went to bed around midnight and woke up at 4:45am to head out. Traveled around 10 - 15 miles offshore and started fishing around 8:00am. I caught two trout, one hard-head catfish, and 3 sharks. Yes, THREE sharks! We couldn't keep 'em, but it was a devil of a time to reel 'em in! Overall, I had a great time, but it wasn't too successful of a trip. 7 Trout altogether. Got back in, cleaned the boat and the fish, and Brett showed me how to use the boat and some good marsh fishing spots.
I felt so alive out on the water in the marsh this weekend. It was exactly what I needed! 3-day Men's retreat with my dad and little brother starting tomorrow. Should be fun!
