It was fun, but there was no skill to it. Just put the bait on the hooks and drop it down. Wait a little while and bring up the Red Snapper. They don't even really tug at the line. I like that thrill of knowing there's something there...LOL.

The first time my son saw my tackle box, he thought I had bought out a store...LOLOL.

Janet, my husband cleans all the fish - he doesn't think anyone else but him can clean them correctly (whew!).

There's not many streams/rivers with fish that you can wade in Texas - but Gary fly fishes with his waders (well not too much but he does a little) in Colorado/New Mexico/Alaska. They (him, granddaughter, and SIL) do fly fish is super lite rods for perch and sun fish in the little creek behind the sub division.

I have a picture, that I can't find () of my granddaughter float fishing for bass. Float fishing is an inner tube with a canvas cover that has a seat. You sit on the seat and your legs dangle down in the water. You put flippers on your feet and you can wear waders, but people don't here in the summer because it is too hot. You get into a small pond/lake and use your flippers to move around and bass fish. There are pockets on the canvas cover to keep your tackle. Anyway, my granddaughter does that - but now she and her dad both have kayaks that they go out in more than the floats. She also fly fishes and cat fishes. She's loves it!

Crappy is my favorite fish to eat. We night fish for them in the lakes around here.

I know what you mean about deep sea fishing - Gary goes, but you are right, there is no skill to it. The Alaskan halibut sure is good though!

Tackle boxes!!! O.M.G! You should see my garage. It looks like a TACKLE STORE!!! LOL
Since Gary had rods/reels and tackle for almost every kind of fishing imaginable, I could open a tackle store out of my garage. We have a boat too, sitting in our driveway! I don't really mind, I just like to tease him about it!
