Getting schooled on cast nets



After about 15 frustrating minutes of getting into the swing of tossing the cast nets and pulling up nothing, the students hit a school of mullet. Yay!


The ninth-graders were part of Baytown Nature Center's Back to the Bay program, which opened again this week for the fall semester.

The only two girls in the group were the first ones to haul in a couple of fish. Girl power!

But the boys caught up. About 10 mullet were caught before the aquatic organism collection session ended.

The fish went back into the water, and the students had to return to campus for more schooling.
