Trip Summary
I fished with my new clients Ernie and Gigi yesterday. Although it was cold in the morning, things warmed up as the sun came up and turned into an absolutely gorgeous day in God's Country. They wanted some good eating fish so I went to see if the Sheepshead were at one of my spots and found a nice school that we were able to sight fish, which was pretty cool! They also caught a beast of a Pompano along the way which is another incredible tasting fish. Had a couple of firsts on the boat as Ernie caught his first Redfish, one of many yesterday, and Gigi had the hot hand on the Snook as she caught her first, and a few more after that. God's nature was out in full force yesterday as, to Gigi's delight, we had an otter come right up to the boat and she was talking to it and it seemed to be listening?. We had a manatee swim right under the boat so she had a great look at one, which was one of a few we saw out there. Then there was the dolphin pods. Although they are a fisherman's nemesis, it was a pretty cool sight to see them herding up their prey about 30 to 40 yards from the boat, but by the time they were done they were 10 ft away from the boat splashing and feeding. It ruined our bite but it was fun to watch and Gigi got a real kick out of it. So in the end they caught lots of fish, brought home some of the best eating fish in the Gulf of America, and got a close up view of some of God's special creatures!
