New Years Weekend Beach Trip!

So Holly and I along with several friends from church took all the canoes and kayaks out that we could get our hands on out to the beach Jan. 2 for a fishing/bar-b-que trip.

The Guys and I headed out earlier in the kayaks to get some fishing in. we paddled over to some bridges at an adjacent park where the water was deep and the fish were varied.

I caught a sheepshead

 that was just barely of keeper size and then we headed back to the beach for lunch. after lunch we all paddled back to the bridge where we caught 3 gag grouper! one was about 17" and just shy of keeping (min. 20") and Holly caught a red that was just big enough to take home (18") all was very fun and exciting especially for holly because it was the first fish over a few inches that she has ever caught.
