IN GALVESTON, TEXAS. WE SAILED INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO, ON A PARTY

BOAT CALLED “THE NEW BUCCANEER”, A CATAMARAN 85 FEET LONG, 33 FEET WIDE WITH 4 DIESEL ENGINES AND WITH

ADVANCED FISH LOCATING EQUIPMENT.WE WERE SUPPLIED WITH ROD, REEL AND BAIT, AND WE

FISHED FOR RED SNAPPER. THE RULE WAS THAT WE WERE ALLOWED TO KEEP ONLY 5

ENSURING THAT NO SMALL FISH WERE KEPT. SMALL FISH WERE THROWN BACK INTO THE OCEAN.
