We fished Turner's for a little while and caught three nice sail cats. My eight year old caught the two biggest and loved it. They went in the box. There was no way I was throwing her fish back! We moved around the back side of the island to get out of the wind and had some bits, but nothing major. We then left and went down the river a ways I tried fishing some piers I always fish, but the wind was not playing well. It got real windy for a couple of hours. We fished down the river and then came back up to Turners. I wanted to cross to the weirs, but the ride was not fun for my wife across the open lake with the wind blowing like it was. The boat handled it just fine and it was not bad to me at all. But, she did not like it. When we headed up the sun came out, the wind died and it got beautiful. We spent the rest of the afternoon tooling around up there and in the LNG. We anchored up for a good while in the sun and they had a blast catching a bunch of 15" black drum, redfish and some croakers. I even hooked a big ole stingray and they got to see that. So, all in all they had a really good time. I had a blast watching them and helping teach them the little I do know. My wife did a lot of driving the boat and that is helping her confidence on it alot. So, all in all it was a good first trip for them. Next time I hope to get down to the weirs and ship channel if the weather cooperates. I really appreciate all the advice ya'll gave me!
