GREAT START TO 2011!

I'm afraid I have to disappoint you with only words and no photo's (my bad, forgot the camera) but I caught my first snapper this morning! I am so excited! I have been out on the boat with the HG a few times and never caught much so I was thrilled to catch one today. We had only been out on the water and anchored up for about 30 minutes before I caught my very first one (and reeled it in all by myself!) but before I had a chance to celebrate I had put my line back down and immediately felt the tug . . . reeling up three of the suckers at once! Within an hour we had our limit and I had caught 13 of the 20. I think this baby is a lucky charm, clearly it is going to take after it's daddy in the fishing department cos mummy has never been much good at this fishing stuff . . . until now! And not even a teeny bit of nausea. SUCCESS! A wonderful start to 2011, succeeding at something new and spending some quality time with the HG. He has now gone off to dive for some crayfish and I plan to spend the rest of the day laxed out on the couch after my 4.30am wake up call.

Happy 2011 everyone! May you all be truly blessed.

  2. Jealous! We really wanted to have a boat by this summer but we built a house instead lol. Today would be the perfect day to be out on the water though its sooooo hot up here already

  3. I'm so glad I found your blog. I reached the 27 year old mark this last July. My husband and I have been together for 9.5 years, and been married for the last four of them. For the last four years, we've been getting our financial ducks in a row to be able to support a child. We read that it often takes 4 to 6 months to conceive, and 6 months just arrived. I'm already depressed. It was so nice to come across a blog of someone who tried and finally succeeded. I really needed the uplifting today. :)

  4. Nice job on fishing and you should be able to eat them Snapper is yummy.

    I went fishing this past weekend too off the coast of Florida. We caught a red fish and baby flounder. Now flounder is a very funky looking fish.
