Great day out!

Fishing: A good day, everybody caught fish. Lady very happy with her first fish..small Sea Trout.

Fish of the day a nice Florida Pompano.

Sealife Encounter: Naturalist Andrew Wooley explaining about Propagules from the Red Mangroves.

After a very entertaining show by our local Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, we dip net fished at Picnic Island. Kids really enjoyed this.

Another favorite, everyone gathered around the Touch Tank as Andrew talks about the creatures caught in the Otter Trawl net.

Nice weather, nice trip.

Howling winds while fishing today!

Well, at least 20 MPH out of the SW made it tough finding hiding places to fish, but we did pretty well. (Forgot the camera) A Bonnethead Shark was the first fish. The same young man caught a second Bonnethead. We tried a few locations catching a few Spotted Sea Trout until we finally found a nice protected spot yielding lots of fish: Keeper Trout, Sugar Trout, Mangrove Snapper, a Striped Burrfish, and Hardhead Catfish. A very productive fishing day.

Good Weather day this morning!

All passengers, except one, were family and everybody had a good time. We caught a few Catfish starting out and then it got better with a nice Bonnethead Shark.

We started getting some Spotted Sea Trout and a very nice keeper Trout.

Then the smallest of us caught his very first fish, a small Pinfish, which made him very happy!!

We caught a total of 32 fish (Shark, Trout, Ladyfish, Pinfish and Catfish). These folks are repeat customers and say they're looking forward to coming back again next year.

Nice Sunset Cruise!

What Rain? We didn't see any, in spite of the forecast.

We had a nice evening. Plenty of Dolphins, many birds feeding on the mudflats with the very low tide, including a Roseat Spoonbill and were treated to a typically beautiful Sunset.
