1. FISHING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO.
AT 06:00 AM, STEVE, A COLLEAGUE FROM WORK, AND I TOOK
OFF ON A FISHING TRIP IN THE GULF OF MEXICO FROM PIER 19
IN GALVESTON, TEXAS.
WE SAILED INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO, ON A PARTY
BOAT CALLED “THE NEW BUCCANEER”, A CATAMARAN 85
FEET LONG, 33 FEET WIDE WITH 4 DIESEL ENGINES AND WITH
ADVANCED FISH LOCATING EQUIPMENT.
WE WERE SUPPLIED WITH ROD, REEL AND BAIT, AND WE
FISHED FOR RED SNAPPER.
THE RULE WAS THAT WE WERE ALLOWED TO KEEP ONLY 5
FISH. THE FISH HAD TO BE OF A CERTAIN LENGTH.
THE CREW CHECKED ALL FISH WITH A TAPE MEASURE
ENSURING THAT NO SMALL FISH WERE KEPT. SMALL FISH
WERE THROWN BACK INTO THE OCEAN.
