Thanksgiving in Florida

Well it's not often that I have anything to contribute to the site much these days, but I might as well share my small successes as they come ;) I spent Thanksgiving in Florida, the house down there is great & has a little boat dock in the backyard, naturally my mind is on fishing. I dig around in the garage and find some old dusty/broken fishing rods and an old cigar box that was used as a tackle box, all left from a grandfather who is long passed. After getting the poles working I found a little tackle shop that luckily was open on Thanksgiving day, they recommended using live shrimp so I bought a dozen. These stinkin little fish kept eating my live shrimp instead of something bigger that I was hoping would be large enough to eat, so duly motivated with anger & curiosity, I chopped the next little guy in half that stole my shrimp and threw him back out! Long story short, it meant a lot to me to be able to spend a little bit of time fishing finally, I caught 2 catfish, a small stingray, and a few more baitfish, so only had the trout to eat, but boy was it delicious! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving too.
