Broad Creek Fishing & Shrimping Trip

Bright and Early Monday morning Larry scheduled a Family Fishing Trip. Betty, Hope, Harry, Alicia, Logan and Larry were out of the house by 5:00am to meet Capt. Lonnie Miller and his Mate Jessica (daughter). In total Larry and Harry caught 90 pounds of Amber Jack! Delicious fish. They were quite big, 20 pounds or so...Larry didn't get any pictures on my camera so I'm hoping Harry got some shots with his, they were impressive fish.

Here is Logan inspecting a very small fish caught during the shrimping portion of the trip.
Here's a shot of one of the shrimp we captured in the net. We only caught about 4 pounds of shrimp.
Logan was captivated with the blue crabs. He loved watching them walk around. Jessica showed him how to put the crab to sleep by rubbing it's belly. Not for too long of coure, otherwise they die from being on their backs too long.
Once the net is emptied, we had to sort through grass, fish, squid, crabs and who knows what else, to get the shrimp. You could use your hands if you wanted to, I opted to use tongs...

Here are Lonnie and Jessica pulling up the net. They were Terrific guides, great with the kids and just really down to earth!
