Gigging around

[Layton]

Have you ever wanted to do something for years & never seem to have the time to do it? Or for that matter have the money to do it? Well check this out. The Lord blessed me Friday with a first time ever gigging trip. I have been wanting to do this for the last 25yrs. Went to Galveston on a guided trip with Capt Scott McKey (Texasfloundergigging.com) & his good friend Brian. They took me & a friend, Charlie, gigging. We gigged 30 flounder in about 3 1/2 hrs. This was also the first time I have ever gotten my limit in the 30 plus yrs I have been fishing. What a wonderful night - I was truly blessed.

Wow, I'm with John, about those tasty critters. Flounder gigging is something I want to do also. That is why I am gonna get a saltwater stamp this month.
