What a great time!
Team 448 used the Labor Day weekend to go fishing. We left on Saturday morning and drove to
Corpus Christi. By leaving on Saturday
morning, the scouts who had football and band were able to travel with the
Team.
We arrived in Corpus Christi and set up in Pablo’s
grandfather’s house. The house was
empty, so we were able to use the whole house as our “fishing cabin”. After set-up and lunch, we hit the road to
Port Aransas for some fishing. We
learned how to wade fish. Grayson caught
a nice flounder, but we were not able to get it on the stringer. John A. was
able to land a nice flounder and it did make it to the stringer. Way to go John! No one
else had much luck. We left the fishing spot and most of us stopped for fried
chicken before returning to our “cabin”.
On Sunday, we woke up, had breakfast and headed back out to
the fishing spot. We got the kayaks into
the water and tried again. The conditions
were great, but the fish did not show up.
We got done fishing at around 2:00 PM and headed back to the cabin for
lunch. After lunch, some of the guys had
to leave to return to Austin, the rest us of decided to go to the beach.
On Sunday night, we treated ourselves to dinner at Snoopy’s. Even though we did not catch fish, we were
not deprived of seafood. We had a great
dinner. After dinner, some of us had ice
cream and then headed back to the cabin.
On Monday morning, we got up and started the cleanup. It took a lot of gear to pull this event off,
and now we had to clean it. Kayaks,
fishing gear, PFD’s were all cleaned, as was the trailer. After all the cleaning, we hit the road back
home.
Overall, a great trip.
This is sure to become an annual event for the team.
