Even though it reached into the low 90's today you can gtell that the air is less humid and it quickly cools down as the sun drops towards the horizon.
I worked from home today trying to get some relief from the traffic. After quitting time we packed up the Tracker for a quick trip to the beach to get in some R&R.
This time of year Friday means football for most folks and dove season is opening this weekend so I expected the crowd in Matagorda to be light.
We didn't go too far down the beach - only a mile or so and I pulled up near the surf to get busy. Tracy grabbed her shell bucket and the camera and headed down the beach as I began searching the first gut for hungry fish.
I caught several "sea cats" and some whiting at first. Then a wave of small black drum came through which provided some additional action. Just as the sun was disappearing a school of rat reds joined the party and proved to be the most fun of all.
Here are the pictures!

The Subway sandwich seemed like a gourmet meal after an evening in the surf!
