2011 - Heightened Expectations
Posted by Captain Jeff on Jan 3, 2011
Happy New Year!
I hope that you enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. My family and I certainly did. How often we state that "time flies by", and how true that seems to be this fall and early winter.
Linda (my wife) and I spent Christmas making final arrangements for our travels south and are now enjoying a bit of sunshine, warmer temps, and of course - fishing. The action has been as expectedv for winter fishing in Florida with snapper, sheepshead, and gag grouper, being the primary edible fish caught. We managed to boat a hog snapper which is seldom caught in these local waters. Several small bonita were breaking the surface in pursuit of bait, and dolphins were feeding in the midst of this activity.
Later this afternoon I launched Shel'-Lin and she rests at the dock in anticipation of her first outing. Whether that be shelling or fishing time will tell.
