Fishing!!


I am a high school choral director living in (my opinion) one of the most beautiful little towns in Florida, Merritt Island.

My husband, Joshua, and I are blessed to live on a canal where I frequently get to do one of my favorite hobbies, Fishing! A few days ago, Josh and I were able to go fishing on the beach in Indialantic, FL with one of our friends from Church. According to our friend, we didn't end up catching a lot, but we still left with about 20 fish! My best catch of the day was a 14 inch pompano which Josh and I will be enjoying for dinner tonight! Josh's most interesting catch of the day was a Crab... haha :)


Anyway, since we were able to catch so successfully (in our opinion) we decided on doing our own fishing expedition this morning at 5am at the Cocoa Beach Pier. What we didn't plan for was the tide. I'd never seen it out so far!! The pier, which we had planed on fishing off of, was closed until 6am, so Josh waded out into the water so not to waste the time invested on this early early morning. At 6 we went to the pier and met a wise old fisherman named Tony who helped us with our rigging. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay on the pier for about 15 minuted because Josh had to get to work. We got home and I took a nap... a very long nap, in fact! Truth is, I fully intended on getting a lot of stuff done today, and aside from mowing the lawn, I've been unable to do anything due to my lack of energy.

Ah well, at least we'll have a nice dinner of baked pompano!
