Our Day in The Rain!!!

 We drove over to the Fairhope pier and it had let up for a bit so we decided to walk out  so glad we did!!

 Not too many fishing in the rain!!! But the pelican was waiting on what hand outs he could get!!

 He let me walk right up to him!!

 He decided that black thing in front of my face wasn't going to hurt him!!

 He let me walk right up to him!!

We Knew he caught something big, but we none had any idea what he was going to pull in. He got so worn out he passed the rod to someone else to help in pulling it in!!! By the time the third person took over the catch was getting tired and they were able to reel in closer and closer till we saw a big splash!!!

Every one was hollering it is a Red a Big Red!!!!

And sure enough is was a Red Fish. when they got it too the pier they couldn't get him up he was so heavy. They tried putting a noose around him but ( I could have told them that wasn't going to work) to no avail. So while they worked holding him as best as they could someone ran and got a gaff hook. It started raining and I wasn't going to ruin a camera on a fish, but i did get pictures of him!!!

Hope they got him in or he will be truly the Big one that got away!!!! I have confidence they got him in!!!

We left there and went home let the girls out  then went to eat Chinese, then out to Barbers Marina!!!!

Sonny had read George Barber has added a new exhibit!!! He didn't tell me about it or what we were going to see!! You can't imagine how
big this thing is!!!!!

We left Barber's and Ron wanted to at least get to see the Beach, so we drove over the toll bridge to Orange Beach then went to the State park Fishing Bridge to walk down to the beach.

These are the Flags we have seen most of our time down here!!! That Double Red Flag!!!! Never Green. But Yellow or a single Red Flag!!!! All we were allowed to put in was our toes!!!!

  

   These were shot as we were leaving. It started raining!!!!
