Last Friday, we had an unexpected day off at home as a whole family. Matt decided the weather would be perfect for the whole family to head out on the boat for a fishing trip. We got up early, and put Luci in the car with her Minnie Mouse pjs still on, and headed to the coast. After catching bait, Matt found a great spot where the fish were biting. He rigged up the girls' new fishing poles and the fish started biting immediately. The girls caught a few trout and a lot of catfish (no pics of those!). Brooke has got the hang of handling the rod and Luci still needs some muscle power from mommy to help get the fish to the boat.

The redfish is almost as big as her! She spent a lot of time examining the fish and touching them.
Brooke caught this mangrove snapper and then we started getting a little toasty in the sun, so we went to one more spot before we headed to the beach.
Brooke reeled in this beautiful snook!
Matt showed them how to release it properly.
Brooke also caught her own redfish which was a little too small to keep.
We took the boat over to a beach near Anna Maria island and splashed in the water for a while to cool off.
