Fishing Mojo is back!

We had a really fun weekend with Ray & Lily! Since the seas were not conducive for fishing on Friday, we did a land tour of Stuart. Ray & Lily were successful in their quest for outdoor artwork and they learned more about the area too!

The afternoon afforded us an opportunity to take the boat out on the river/intercoastal waterway and explore more of the area. We canal-cruised through some nice neighborhoods and down to the "pocket" with the marinas and restaurants.


Everyone was looking forward to getting out and catch some fish! An early departure from the dock on Saturday and we were setting up shop. The first sign our mojo was back catching bait. (Haven't done that in a while.) We tried several tactics with rigged bait, lures, and other tricks and finally hooked a mahi mahi. We also tried drifting with a few of the baits we had left, but no luck. (There was a sailfish that appeared interested, but didn't bite.)



So many 'national geographic moments': stingray free-jumping, flying fish, turtles, sharks playing and beautiful water in the Atlantic.

It was a long day, but the weather was beautiful, the skies clear and the breeze a little cool.

Thanks Ray & Lily for spending the weekend at the Fish Camp!
