Labor Day

We took a trip to Lafayette to visit with Tracy's sister and her folks over the weekend. Since Monday was a holiday from work, I decided to head to Matagorda to see if I could pull supper from the surf.

I was greeted with a beautiful sunrise on the way down:

The morning looked ify as the thunderheads were already building.

I caught several whiting on dead shrimp.

These bottom-feeders were cruising the first "gut" or trough between the sandbars.

This little jack fought like a much bigger fish.


Ladyfish aka Skipjack - (thinks he is a tarpon)

I got chased out by the rain but had a fun morning nonetheless.
