A little safety topic first off.  This fellow is experienced and a regular on Texas Kayak Fisherman forum. http://www.texaskayakfisherman.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=181697
This is the video of him having a problem in not really that bad a surf situation. It also shows why this OFM will not be seen paddling in the surf with gear in a yak. The OFM has taken enough unplanned exits from boats to know his limitations.

Meanwhile the morning began early for some strange reason and the Fishing Team hit the pier early. The jellyfish were so thick that the spoon had trouble penetrating the mass of bodies.  A few ladyfish were present again but only one was hooked.  They are actually too small to hook reliably.

While we are talking fish catching here are pictures of two birds from late yesterday.  A fellow at the end of the pier was catching small fish and feeding the birds.  The seagull just pecked around on its fish.

This white bird however worked on its fish for several minutes until it got the fish oriented just right.  Then it was swallow time, but the bird still had to work on it to get the fish swallowed. It was actually funny to watch.

Later this afternoon the OFM headed over to the campground office area to get put to work.  After the “training” the needed books were gathered and now he is on the job for the next ten days. Mr. Manager to you fellow!

With a little luck the only things the OFM will get to screw up is feeding the dog and filling the yard fountain. At the moment we have four spots open for next week. This is not a popular “weekender” campground because we do not have swimming pools and things like that.

Naturally the OFM gets wild ideas once in a while. Here is his latest silly wild idea. If he ever gets any sense it will surprise the whole world.

Now how in the world is that going to help in trying to have tooooo much fun? TheOFM.

  1. Mr. Manager, Sir, will you still have time to go fishing or will you be stuck at the park 24/7?

    1. Nita all my header pics have the location under the pic. This one is the Breakwater Picnic Area, Rockport, Texas. The green pin is where I stood to take the picture. https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=28.025309,-97.046555&spn=0.002434,0.004318&t=h&z=18

    2. Since the green pin did not work let us try this description. In the map referenced above, the picture was taken where the pier/jetty meets Vet Memorial Drive looking south.
