Had a great day on the water.
Rented a pontoon for half a day.
No fishing.
Just riding and a couple hrs on the beach.
My son Chris, his son CJ (our grandson), and my brother David and his wife Chris joined Donna and I.
Beautiful day.
And the weather was perfect.
Even got up to 95 degrees!!!
Nice day for sure.
Tomorrow we head back north for a few months before we can return for good.

Went down to our fishing pier here in the park to toss a Cleo for a while.  Two small strikes but nothing hooked.  Probably just small baitfish nipping at it.
Nice to just get out there and toss a spoon.

Here’s two pics of the water off our pier.

Donna and I did a little casting off our park fishing pier.  I hooked something on the first cast, it rolled in the water giving us a quick glimpse but broke off immediately.  Probably a snook.  Old line.  We also got a visitor to watch Donna cast.  A little guy only about 4 foot.

Be sure to click on each photo to see it larger.














The gator is out there if you follow her rod tip you can see him in the photo below.

Nice. Beats shoveling snow.  Not sure if you follow John Skinner on You Tube but he's down there now on the west coast somewhere, hammering some good fish.

Not sure how much range you have from your home port but Cape Haze used to be good habitat.

Cape Haze is too far.
About a 4-5 hr boat trip.
And there's tons of very fishable waters between here and there.
Donna and I discussed the situation tonight as a matter of fact.
Lots of things playing out and I won't bore you.............yet.

Stay tuned to this channel.

My buddy Mike and his wife are here for the week.  Today Mike and I went down to the park fishing pier to throw some lures.  I had 3 small hits but no hookups.  Probably small mullet “bumping” the spoon.  No fish were harmed.   8)

Went down to the fishing pier here in the park with Christopher and my grandson CJ.  I got a little stingray.  CJ caught a nice little kitty.  CJ had another on but was a little too excited, horsed it a little and lost it.  Nice day today with my boys.  Only got up to 80 and we had a nice breeze, so it was pretty comfortable.

Does anyone eat the stingrays?

I've been coming down here for about 35 yrs and have never heard of anyone that eats them.

However, after seeing your question, I googled it -

The link used the word "delicacy." That's not always a good sign.  :laugh:

Donna walks every morning.
Me.....not so much.
However, we both go to water exercise every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
And I will walk with her and the dog a couple/three times a week after dinner.
We are definitely more active down here thru the winter months for sure.

Anyway, tomorrow Donna won't be taking her normal walk.
We are headed to the beach.
She will walk and look for shark's teeth, shells, and other fancies in the sand.
I will take 2 poles and do some surf fishing.
Pole one is a 7' medium spinning rig with a 2 hook bait rig and I will use frozen shrimp on it.
Pole two is my 8' heavy spinning rig and it will have a sliding egg sinker and #3 circle hook for larger fish and it will have frozen squid on the hook.
We are headed out about 7:30 and only plan on staying until about 11-11:30 as it is supposed to get into the lower 90's tomorrow afternoon.

Then I'm taking Donna to lunch at a local raw bar on the Mayaka River.
We have not been to this place in maybe 10 yrs.
Cold draft beers in a frosty cold mug, raw oysters and clams, maybe some peel-n-eat shrimp and/or some steamed mussels.
Should be fun.
We have held off going there because it's very popular and gets packed.
But a ton of the snowbirds are already gone, so it should be a little quieter and nicer to enjoy.
Population down here triples in the winter.

Should be fun.

Was a very nice day for sure.
No fish were harmed.
Lots of stolen bait - probably crabs and small baitfish.
Here are some pics -












Then I got this to watch this scene (probably another reason my bait was getting stollen) -









And this little guy begged for scraps from me all morning.
At the end I let him have my last frozen shrimp and 2 chunks of squid.

Well, the scenery was nice anyway.

And no NY negative references.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
