Vacation 2005 - 2006 - Day 6 (last day)

Our last full day of vacation was started off right. Chris, Brandi, Zack, Kayla, Jill and I got up early to head to the Whale Harbor charter fishing docks. We boarded Captain Paul Johnson's boat (his real name). Our goal was the Sailfish, a large game fish. We would start the day off trying for some Sailfish bait - mainly yellowtail and Ballyhoo.
Here's Zack with his first catch of the day, a nice little yellowtail. It's too bad he wasn't a keeper, because these are tasty little dudes.
Chris caught one too. I can't remember if this was yellowtail or something else, but he was sure proud of the catch.
Kayla had a blast, but sometimes being 6 just catches up to you...
Jill with her ridiculous fish. She reeled this thing in like it was no big deal, but he sure was a big one. We caught two big fish, the one Jill has above, a Porgie, and also a King Mackeral that was smaller but a little longer.
The fish looked a lot better after the chef at Whale Harbor fried them up. They have an outdoor boardwalk where you can sit and eat your catch while overlooking the ocean.
It was a fun last night of the trip. Thanks again to Mom and Dad for taking all of us. I know we all had a great time, and created many long-lasting memories, like when Dad was speaking with our Polish waiter in his native language :) It was great to be able to spend time all together like that, which is something that we can't do as much as we'd like.
