The Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo has been going on for more than 65 years, and it's turned into an event that people from miles around come to attend. The term "fishing rodeo" was a new one to me, and while it conjured images of salt-encrusted cowboys wrangling sharks and tuna, it turns out I was only a little off. Instead of the salty, stetson-sporting sportsmen, I found a seriously diverse group of people competing to win in one of the 26 different categories. People were fishing for anything from shark to barracuda, blue fish, gar, grouper, bass, flounder, catfish - you name it, there's probably a category for it. Visit their website if you want to get a good look at some of the categories. There's no entry fee, and the fishing waters are listed as "anywhere in the Mississippi Sound or the Gulf of Mexico. For fresh water fishing...anywhere in the bays, bayous, rivers, creeks, lakes or ponds. All fish must be caught with conventional tackle and in a sportsmanlike manner."Saturday, July 26, 2014
