Freeport, TX

My husband and I went on a company sponsored fishing trip out into the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday. It was a neat experience. It was chartered by Underwater Expedtions of Freeport, TX. The boat we were on was Capt. Casey. Here is their website for more info....

Everyone meets at the dock at about 5:45. The boat heads out to sea at about 6am.

It's smooth sailing in the beginning, everyone is excited and although tired, we are having a good time.

Then the seasickness sets in as the water gets rougher. After several people lose their breakfast they end up in the air conditioned room on the boat, including my dear husband.

Please remember that if you have never been on the open sea and don't know if you will be seasick that no matter how big and bad you think you are....even the biggest guys can be brought down by the ocean waves so TAKE SOME DRAMAMINE!!!

About 3 hours out we were finally fishing.

The crew was great. They even baited the hooks of those too squeamish to touch the squid bait we were using. I caught several snapper but I have no pictures of it because my hubby spent the whole trip sick.

The scenery was beautiful. The experience was great. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has never experienced it before.

Just remember....TAKE SOME DRAMAMINE!
