Dad, Dolphins, and a Picture Perfect Day!!






What an awesome day!!! The fishing was EXCELLENT!! Andrea caught her first Sheepshead and it was a whopper, 18 inches!!! She started yelling the minute it took her bait. "It's a Sheepshead Keeuum, I've never caught a Sheepshead Keeuum!! I don't think I can get it, it's really really big!!" She's just too funny. She also caught a 15 inch Trout, and a 14 inch Pompano. She's almost ready for her own fishing show. Can you imagine the ratings!! Move over Grey's Anatomy.

A big pod of dolphins surrounded our boat for about 5 minutes or so. They were cresting about a foot away from the boat. It was so magical. They are such beautiful creatures.

My dad met us out on the water in his boat and that was a blast. He would drift right by us, around us, in front of us and then he tied onto us and ate a sandwich. Right after that we were told that we better leave our great fishing spot because a tugboat was going to be pushing a really, really big boat out into the channel. We didn't waste any time moving to another spot. No problem man!

I caught 3 Mangrove Snapper that were about 11-12 inches each, my dad caught one too so he took them all home to clean for dinner. It really doesn't get a whole lot better than that.

Fishing, Family, and Fun!!
