June 29th, Sam Rayburn Fishing Trip

The weather forecast for the day showed alot of rain and wind, with Alex coming toward land.  I had my doubts about whether or not to cancel this trip.  But decided to go with it, and it turned out to be a great day.  Met at the dock at 7:00am, the first thing we did was put out jug lines for catfish.  We started cast fishing and caught bass, trolled for stripers, but with the wind we didn't have much luck.  We did hang a hugh striper and got great footage of the fight, but it snapped the line before we could get it in the boat. After a full day of fishing there were plenty of bass and catfish to clean.  Both of the guys are from Venezuela, here on vacation, and really nice...I had a great time talking and learning about their culture, lifestyles, and the differences between our countries.
