Monday 3/25
Linda didn’t sleep much last
night so she stayed at camp and I went fishing around noon.

Today’s catch…
My first ever Redfish
(red drum) 15 inches but, three inches too short for a keeper.
I got one nice Blue
Crab. He wouldn’t let go of that shrimp until
he was in the boat.
This is the largest
puffer I've ever caught. Trying to take
pictures and keep him from flopping around was impossible. It was at least 18 inches and it blew up to
the size of a head of lettuce.
The others…one trout,
six catfish, and six lady fish.
All in all a fun day but no keepers.
Around 5 PM they just quit biting like someone flipped a switch.
Then I heard a dolphin about 50 feet from the boat. Everybody was getting out of dodge.
I had two shrimp left and this cormorant landed next to the boat. I was afraid that it might try and dive for my bait. I don't need to catch a frantic bird. I lost my shrimp and only had one left. I threw it to him and he had it as soon as it touched the water. Then he swam under the boat and surfaced right next to me. I think it was a thank you.
I got back at 6PM and
Linda had made burgers with sauce in the crockpot.
Now its time to do the blog and sip an ice cold Arnold Palmer.
