Yeah, the stress levels have been cranked up to 11 lately, so obviously it was time to go out on an adventure...


Starting out.


Baby alligator gar.


Best sandbar along the San Jacinto river.


Food and napping.


Time to leave.


How a good day ends.

It isn't Hawaii but it works for me. smile

A sunny day, a gang of friends, and a fleet of kayaks makes for a day of relaxation. Looks like a couple of the guys were worried about the sun.

What was the lure used for the longnose gar?

A foot-long piece of white nylon rope, with a weight where the line joins the rope, is excellent. When a gar (which is a predator, apparently mistaking the rope for a snake or other edible prey) strikes, its teeth hook in the rope and it can't get free, no matter how much it thrashes.

Might be something to include in a survival fishing kit, if you're is areas where gar are common.

Thanks for the photos of the winter expedition!

They probably told their boss they had swine flu and played hookey.
