Windy Saturday

I was stuck in the Woodlands all week so Tracy & I decided to do some exploring on Saturday. We took a drive to Big Boggy National Wildlife Refuge and Matagorda beach.

It was cloudy and windy when we left home but the weatherman promised that clearing was on the way.

We saw some birds and I got to scope out some future fishing holes.

Looking for Lunch


After getting blown around by the high winds, we had a nice dinner at the Waterfront in Matagorda Harbor.

I found a book, Tricking Texas Trout, by Captain Kevin Cochran, a Baffin Bay fishing guide who also writes for Gulf Coast Connections magazine.

So far I like what I've read so I'm going to keep an eye out for his new one, Waters Wild which was recently released.

That place is for the birds. I see that your eye is working good also.
