Wonderful day of cruising!

We had a very good fishing trip with a large family of 11 from Illinos and a family of 4 from Virginia. The weather has changed, we are now getting 10mph out of the NW and the water temp has dropped from 74 to 71. Air Temp in the upper 70,s. Trying to hide from the wind, we still did ok, catching some Sugar Trout, and small Sea Trout at the first stop. Then we moved not more than quarter mile and there we caught several Spanish Mackerel, a few Spotted Trout and a Flounder..and a few unmentionables such as Lizardfish and Catfish (and a pretty little Squirrelfish)

On the SeaLife Encounter: Almost routine, Dolphins several times, great fun for folks at Picnic Island catching all the small creatures that we usualy catch,fish shrimp,etc.. Then in the Big net drag, we caught several fish, pinfish, sugar trout, and a cute little Southern Puffer.

The Sunset Dolphin cruise got a little chilly (about 65 degrees and dropping fast), but 36 brave folks went with us to see the Sunset and find some Dolphins. Because the wind was coming out of the NW, decided to go up the River with the wind to our backs. Checked on our active Osprey nest..still can't see the chicks. Spotted a Bald Eagle on BigShell Island then on up to Little Shell Island (very Interesting) we found a Dolphin and we got to look at him for awhile, even though it appeared he was having dinner. We had a beautiful Sunset from Big Shell Island. A good day..but make it warmer..Please!
