We love living on the water and the fact that we could catch fish every day, if we wanted to (or had time in our busy lives). The kids love to throw the cast net, JB loves to find friends on the river and throw out a line, and I love to try my hand at cooking all the different fish filets.
Over Colombus Day weekend we scheduled a morning charter to take the kids out on the Ogeechee River and fish for whiting (and other things). Unfortunately, James got his second bout with COVID (after I had it the week before, boo) and so I bravely took all 3 kids out with our very patient, very kind Captain.
The day was incredibly gorgeous. It's finally getting cooler but the sun is still out shining. We went out into the water through the river, enjoying the views of the Main House.
The Captain had hoped to catch a lot of whiting that we could take home to eat, but in the end we mostly caught sharks and sting rays. The kids didn't care! It's quite fun to catch and release, plus we got a lot of biology talk from our Captain (who previously was a biologist with the DNR).
I had packed our lunches and some snacks, and all Wesley could think about was the food in the cooler. That kid could not stay out of it! Or the bait tank :)
At the end of our trip we had only caught 2 whiting that we could keep, but the Captain still fileted them for us (and we cooked and ate every bit). DELICIOUS!!! Can't wait to come home with a whole mess of them so we can have a real feast.
Such a fun day! But we missed Dad! Maybe next time...
