Wayne,
We've had almost perfect weather the last few days. I landed a 5 foot
blacktip about 8 miles SW of there just yesterday. Water clarity is great,
too. I could see him 15 feet below the surface and almost the entire 40
minutes while I was fighting him.

I had plans to do some chores here at the new house today but it was
bright and sunny this morning with temperatures headed for the low
80s. When my neighbor asked me if I wanted to go fishing that was all
I needed to hear and it was off to Walmart for a Florida salt water
fishing license, and then down to the bait shop for 4 dozen live
shrimp. We fished the south end of Sanibel Island near the Point Ybel
lighthouse for about 3 hours. The beaches were crowded with good
looking sun chasers and the pelicans were active, but the fish were
not. My neighbor caught one keeper mackrel and we caught dozens of
small stuff, mostly baby grouper, but nothing worth mentioning.

It sure was a heck of a nice day on the water however.
