1994 Sept - Assateague Island, Maryland
We went on vacation to Ocean City Maryland and tried surfcast fishing again.
Our fishing was interrupted when a herd of wild ponies came strolling down the beach!
There are several local legends about the origins of the ponies on Assateague. The most popular is that the ponies swam ashore from a Spanish ship that had run aground, while another story has it that they came from a wrecked ship that had been on its way to the English colonies. A third claims that pirates brought the ponies to the island.
In any event, the ponies have been on Assateague for about 300 years. While the early ponies had solid coloring, a good number now have brown and white patches due to interbreeding with new ponies brought to the island in the last hundred years.

1993 October - Red Drum, Outer Banks, No Carolina
Frank has hooked into something! |
After fishing the Point, we decided to find an easier spot for fishing and there are miles of beaches to choose from on the Outer Banks. We picked a spot and we both caught our first Red Drum fish!
