Island Campout and Fishing

[seagull22]

Took my Boy Scout Troop on a barrier island camping and fishing trip July 11-12 on Timbalier Island, Louisiana. Some of the boys and parents have never been fishing on a boat much less to one of the remote barrier islands along the coast and now they have been to and seen a part of Louisiana that may not be there much longer. The cut they are fishing in the pictures was caused by hurricanes last summer and if not repaired soon, will cut the island wide open to more currents from the gulf. Here is a link to the few pics taken by me, did not realize till I got home that we had no fish pictures. The boys caught plenty flounder, specks and blue fish.

My son went on a few dive trips to "Sea Base" (Islamorada) for a week each time and other in the troop, 801, went to out islands and camped, fished, etc.

They all had a great time.

Looks like your boys (and adults) did the same! Thanks for taking the time to be involved.
