The Shrimp Festival is this weekend and we are going. Monday is a holiday so I leave from work and meet Karen at TPOS Friday afternoon. Karen's friends, Cathy, Lucy & Cathy's daughter are coming along with Ellie & Sarah. We have a Full House.
Sarah & Ellie arrive first. We go to Publix to stock up for Saturday am. After Karen arrives we head over to GS for the festivities. We make our way through the crowd and the "Fair Food". Catch a fun band on the stage, Mustang Sally. An all girl band lots of energy, fun. Cathy & company are going to meet us there. We see them there, remind them of the entry code and head back to Bayview. Every bed, couch and blow up bed is taken. The place is full.
Saturday I make Grits & Gillades for brunch. Cathy & crew head out early to the festival. It is a football weekend and we plan to go over for a quick run through. Ellie has a Statistics exam and stayed behind to study while Karen, Sarah & I head to GS.
The crowd size seems good but some memorable vendors are missing. Hopefully they will be back. We stop by to get some ribs to put on the BGE and settle in for some football.
Bama goes down to South Carolina, Auburn outlasts Kentucky and Troy had won earlier in the week. A perfect weekend...

It is a nice day & we head SW to our coops that always produce quality fish. It is about 29 miles to the spot and we relax on Sea Legs for the ride out. Rick does a great job holding us on the spot and we begin to boat nice snapper. As we close in on our limit of 10 snapper we begin to lose fish to Sharks. We had a couple come up tail less. We move on to another spot and pick up our final 2. We head back to the dock. A great day and lots of fish.
