David finally decided that what he wanted to do was go fishing offshore, so I asked Dr. Robert Linder for some recommendations for guides, and booked a full day with Ron Garrison. Got up at 4am (ugh!), drove down to Lake Jackson and met up with David, Jayson, and Gary, for the traditional breakfast at Whataburger. Bernard, one of David’s poker buddies, met us at the dock. We set out in pretty rough seas for the three-hour journey to the reef. David reeled in the first catch of the day, a bonita. After a quick start, including a nice kingfish for Jayon, things got kinda slow, despite Gary and Bernard’s efforts of providing a little chum. Still, we had a good time of it, and did not come away empyhanded: 3 red snapper, two tuna, a kingfish, and a dorado.

Hi Joe!
Don’t know if you’ll remember me…. I played ‘Yum-yum’ in the Mikado in England and ‘Lady Saphir’ in Patience?!? Just discovered your site today and though I’d send a nice little greeting. You seem to be having fun! I hope life is treating you well!
