OK, OK so I’m retired and haven’t written in a long time.
But, you know it is winter and cold and who is thinking about fishing anyway. Well, I guess you are so I have responded with an early email to my regulars for booking those prime dates.
For those who have written about the article in “On The Water”, yes that is Pro-Fishin-Sea on page 22. I guess you just never know who is watching. We were catching stripers on a beautiful late July day with a crew from New Jersey.
I have been fishing here for Sea Trout, Snook, and whatever bites the hook. One thing about Florida fishing is you just never know what you will catch – the variety is something else. On Sunday, I volunteer at Biscayne National Park. My job is to open the lighthouse on Boca Chita Key for visitors. The Lighthouse and grounds were developed as a playground by Honeywell in the mid-40’s. He hosted many black tie parties then. Last week when up in the 85 ft. lighthouse we saw a dolphin swimming around and around. Alll of a sudden, it went after its dinner, chasing a small foot long fish. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It took the dolphin about 3 minutes to catch the fish, all the time making hair pin turns and doing loops under water. What a show. After it caught the fish, the dolphin made what looked like victory laps around the light house showing all the visitors his catch. You just never know what you will see out here.
Take care, keep in touch
