Another Sunset at Fiesta Key
And another day of fishing in the canal -- winds still pushing showers through all day long and again this morning (did see some sun a little while ago but, the light rain is falling again).
Managed to catch four keepers yesterday (one less than the limit of 5 per person per day) so, there are two in the freezer and two marinating in the fridge -- with one already cooked from night before ready to warm up for this evening. My first shrimp (one of the smaller ones) landed me the biggest Mangrove Snapper to date of approx. 13 inches -- had my heart pumping to get that guy out of the water and into my bucket (could barely get my hand around its body to hold him while getting the hook out). Also, caught another 4 or 5 that I had to release -- adding to the fun of the day.
Made a trip earlier in the day to Marathon to the south and stopped at the Home Depot there to get an outdoor carpet to cover the ground outside my RV as I get ready for Tim and Laura's visit over President's Day weekend. I'll have to breakdown some of the kitty-cat play house structures at the end of next week to make room for the futon bed to fold down and give son and daughter a place to sleep for each. So looking forward to some company and know that Tiger and Molly will probably just go crazy having them here as well.
Rain has stopped for time being so, will make a trip to the marina to see if Mama and baby Manatee show up this morning -- remember to take my camera too (forgot the last time they showed up).
