Good Time Charters

Well, the past couple weeks have made the fishing pretty tough. Very low tides and temperatures in the forties made the fish not bite and hard to find. However, wehave a lot ‘holes’ that are great at low tide and still managed to get into some good fishing. The big sheeps have been moving in and the seatrout have been abundant with most falling in the legal slot. We have also been catching some pompano! Above is a picture of one of our regulars, Ron from Wisconsin, with one of the many 5lb plus sheepshead being caught lately.

Wow! What a great Marine Life Explorers Charter we had recently. Great family from Toronto and we all had a good time. The day was a bit overcast but that didn’t get us down. We started out the charter with dolphin watching and had a very frisky dolphin playing in the wake of our boat for a while. Then we stopped for some shelling where we found lots of live shells and some empty ones. Little Max and his family enjoyed learning about sea stars and hermit crabs that we found along the way. Back on the boat from there and ran into a large pod of dolphins that were schooling up a bunch of fish. What a show. The dolphins were jumping clear out of the water along with the fish that were trying to evade them! We continued on an had Capt Mike drop me off with Max and his Grandmother for a little kayaking and exploring on our own. Meanwhile the rest of the family went off with Capt. Mike for more shelling. Then we reunited and made one last stop at a shallow grass bed for some netting where we found a small seahorse, spider crab, and a huge lightning whelk along with a variety of other sea life. What a wonderful Marine Life Explorers Adventure we had!

Conditions were great for a recent Marine Life kayak adventure. The tide was perfect and the wind was minimal. Darla and her family found a sea star, a few pygmy sea horses, a small puffer fish, along with live lightning whelks and tulip snails. They even found some beautiful empty shells to take home.
