This past weekend started off with the winds blowing upwards of 30 mph Saturday, so I had to reschedule Saturday’s trip. Sunday, the weather was nice, and we caught some fish. I had return customer Vincent and his family for a morning on Galveston Bay. We got a late start because we had to wait on the live shrimp to get…
