We had such a good time fishing yesterday and the crew enjoyed talking to Cece that they offered us a discount to go again the next day. Unfortunately it was windy and rough seas that morning and we didn’t get to go out again. Instead we went shopping around the island that morning and tried another go at some bay fishing in the afternoon.
Texas has triggerfish?
It was very cool when Cece pulled up this triggerfish, I thought they mainly lived where there was coral. This one is rather ugly compared to the clown triggerfish I used to take care of back in high school. If you don’t know where they get their name from, that spine at the top of their head locks in place to secure themselves in holes and to make them harder to eat but if you press the second spine down (the trigger) the top one will unlatch.
This one was too small and had to be thrown back. I’ve never heard of eating triggerfish anyway I’m not sure if I’d have wanted to keep it even if it was big enough. It’d feel like eating an ugly cousin of one of my pets.
What are these things called? Strange looking fish with a giant eye.
We didn’t seem to have much luck the second day with the bay fishing. We only seemed to catch these poisonous toadfish I think they were called. Others caught a small stingray and a few small gafftopsail and hardhead catfish. We still had fun getting to go out on the water a second day.
