My brother-in-law, Travis, got me to go pier fishing a while back. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but, of course, I did. Being out on a pier, overlooking the ocean is pretty nice and peaceful. We usually get there just before sunrise, so we get to watch (and take pics of) the sunrise. Sunny and warm or foggy and cold, it doesn't matter; we enjoy being out there and fishing.
We've had our other brother-in-law, Steve; and my niece & her hubby, Liz and Eric join us. The other companion that is always along - Vegas, the Queensland healer.
