It was a little windy (20 knots) and the water was cloudy so I figured it would be a not so good day. Around 4pm the wind stopped, the water cleared, and the fish... they started biting! I caught some mangrove snappers, pinfish, and to add to my list of fish, a puffer and a sheepshead! Two more down on the list of fish to catch! Yayyyyyyy, ME!

Some guys down the dock caught some huge Black Drum! When they left, I tried their spot, but no luck. But hey, I have all the time in the world to try again! (See, optimism!)
