We hit a milestone today on the blog, the two year anniversary for starting the site. It was a wet Independence Day two years ago and I decided to kick this site off. I had no idea what I was doing and have learned a little along the way. Thanks to all the followers over the last two years and hopefully we will have many more adventures with family and friends to share. Also keep in mind if any of you have a story of a hunting or fishing trip that you would like to share just write it up and send it to me.
Today we left the house around 7 am for a day in the boat on the back bays of Orange Beach in South Baldwin County Alabama. When we arrived at the boat launch it was a packed house. I had to pull over the curb to make a parking spot. We put in at the public launch behind Pirates Cove in Josephine. After cruising by the favorite hangout and marina we cruised around and looked for some fish. We really didn't see any action in Perdido Bay so we headed around to Wolf Bay and did a little wading. Jennie had one of her first encounters with a nice size jelly fish. Dad and I fished on and finally found the fish in about 5' of water. We had several good casts, catching 8-10 fish at a time.
We caught more fish than we wanted to clean (30-40) in a short amount of time and decided to pull the tube and cool off a little.
Emily is getting old enough now to enjoy the boat and tubing. She really had a great time and didn't want to stop after getting started.
We finished the trip at the Orange Beach Bay Front Park and fixed some great sandwiches. For some reason food always tastes better on the water. Mom (Bobbie) brought some fresh tomatoes from their garden and they were great on the turkey and ham sandwiches.
Later in the day found us grilling steaks around the pool at Jennie's mom's place with her Grandmother and Uncle Gary there as well. It was a great time with family. Then we caught the fireworks in Bay Minette and enjoyed the show very much. What a great country and state we live in, I just wish we could take it back from the politicians that represent themselves and a small minority not the American working class citizens.
