Still Catch Free

I think I mentioned something about fishing the other day.

Well I went! This time my dad went. The conditions were perfect. Well offshore the seas were nothing. Mere ripples. It was FLAT offshore. Biscayne Bay was rougher than it was 3 miles out. I blame all the boat traffic in the bay for that. Approaches to some marinas were horrible.

But as usual - no fish. There was a good strike, but the leader wire gave out and the hooks slipped off. Oh well. One of these days Ill get something.

We tried trolling and drifting. Nothing.

So I headed into shallower waters and hit the patch reefs. I caught some fish, but nothing worth keeping. Some grunt, a few short yellow tails, a VERY short strawberry grouper, a wrasse, and more grunt. At least I was catching stuff.

I also took the opportunity to go swimming. THAT was nice. I need to forget about so many fishing missions and do more snorkeling missions.

But today is Mother's Day. So no more boat stuff. The plan for today is hit up Gulfstream Park for some sort of brunch or whatever they are having. It was my dad's idea. I went along with it.

It will be nice. I suppose. The para mutuals were all given a nice face lift thanks to the voters approving Vegas style slot machines.

So......will there be any video poker? Maybe a little. And maybe not. I am really not that into gambling anyway. It is fun so long as you are winning, but when you are not winning it gets shitty and boring VERY fast.

OH YEA!!!! I got some underwater photos of the patch reef fishing area. Ill post them in the next day or two.
