A Sporty Day

Since Florida State football had a bye week, AND the weather was forecast to be good, we decided to fish today.

A beautiful sunrise on the St. Lucie River

The weatherman was smoking some funny stuff today...the seas were supposed to be 2-3 feet (with a long interval between swells.)  Um, it wasn't.  Chatter on the radio described the ocean as "sporty".  

Frank and Capt Pete get the lines out and ready to catch some fish.

 We trolled for a little while and got 3 knock-downs.  The 4th hit stuck, but it was a barracuda.  (yuck!)

Another hit and this time it was a dolphin.

Action shot!

Nice cold box for you fishy.  :o)

We had two more baits attacked, but the sneaky fish escaped.

Overall the weather was beautiful, a bit windy, but there were fish to be cleaned when we got back to the dock.  :)
