July 4th Big Lake Big Uns

[mikedatiger]

Hit the water today with the entire family in tow. Day started off rough as we were greated at the storage unit with a flat tire on the boat trailer, putting us an hour behind schedule, but it ending up being a great day. Not a ton of fish, but we made up for it in size. Josh caught one close to 6 and I had one pushing 5. Smallest fish was around 2lbs. Tons of rat reds, croaker, lady fish, and even put a flounder in the boat. It was my 6 year old daughters first time fishing and she said it was "Off the Hook!" Learned that my 2 yr old's Buzz Lightyear fishing pole doesn't float but we were able to distract with with goldfish and cheese crackers...

FYI - Beware of the wier racing team - even had one guy making donuts along the bank. They were still cleaning up beer bottles at Cocahoes at lunch time. Supposedly the crowd reached 3,000 people last night!! Was a ghost town at lunch time as I guess everyone was still hungover.


Happy 4th to everyone!
