Took the wife and a couple of our younger Daughters down to rockport for some r&r , we usualy fish off the piers and whatnot and catch a few fish and eat alot of seafood and spend a day over in Port Aransas at the beach. This time we left on sunday and planed on coming back home on Tuesday, Monday was our 14 wedding aneversury so I wanted to do something differant, I secretly arranged for a private charter to do some offshore fishing (6 hr trip, 20 miles out). I didnt tell the wife or kids so when I woke them up @ 5am Tuesday morning yhey were all grogy and fussy ,thats when I let them know that I had planed for the day,,,,,,,, It was like a well oiled machine ,they were dressed and in the car ready to head to Port A within 15 min, I have never seen these 4 women move in such a fast and methodicle way in all my life, I was impressed. They had a blast and I will def. be doing some more of this. I went with the 6 hour trip because I did not know how we would all take the seasickness thing, I can happly report no one got sick and we all had a blast. I will let the Pictures tell the story My 12 yr old Daughter fishing by marina in rockport The wife feeding the birds some fish The FICM on my F350 is out for repair so we had to take the wifes car ( worked out pretty good) chillin at the beach on Monday in port A Daughter catchs fish at the Jetty Port A now the good stuff Jaynes (wife) first red snapper 18 yr old daughters first red snapper Daughters friend Rachel first time King fish 12 yr old daughter first red snapper [img] http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/ldst2010/IMG642.jpg[/img] The happy and wore out Family, we caught aprox 40 fish all day and opted to keep the bigger ones [img] http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/ldst2010/DSCI0250.jpg[/img]

Great photos. Looks like you have plenty of good eating snapper. It is hard to beat red snapper in the taste dept.
