Full day of fun!

The rain came and went, and came again making it for a true fun adventure for the guests on the Backwater Fishing, Shelling & Lunch Cruise, and the Sealife Encounter!

The following has been written by First Mate Andrew.

Using live pilchards as bait on the fishing trip this morning we caught several different species of fish including a 22 inch trout, mackerel, ladyfish, and jacks. We saw plenty of dolphins and even a manatee!

Following the fishing trip, we left for the Sea-life excursion where we went to picnic island and found lots of small animals that live in the grass beds such as, pinfish, pipefish, sea horses, spider crabs, and striped burr fish( puffer fish). In the deeper water grass beds we dragged the large otter trawl net and caught a large mangrove snapper, larger pinfish, and a variety of different sized burr fish. On the way home we stopped and saw several dolphins.

I have no pictures to share but Matt, the guide on this mornings Canoe & Kayak Eco Tour, had this to share.

It's a curious manatee! There were several out this morning hanging out with the kayakers.

An overcast and rainy day but everyone genuinely still had a great time on our cruises today.
