It was [THIS] big !!

Ha. I suppose a fishing update is in order. First of all, as Joey and I have learned, all the real fisherman use a really cool fishing cart. So, of course, after eyeballing the competition for the best fishing cart - we managed to put together this little beauty :

It can hold up to 10 fishing poles and/or nets and quite easily carries our cooler, our bait bucket, our chairs to sit on [when we sit], our tackle box and pretty much anything else we want to bring with us. It has pneumatic tires, which make it roll with ease from the truck to the fishing pier.

Last weekend was our first to roll out the new cart, and we got several admiring stares on our way down the pier and even one or two comments. Of course, Joey and I were just laughing because trust me when I say - the elaborateness of our cart, in no way reflects our fishing abilities - we're just there to have fun.

So, what do we catch, you ask ? Well, I have prepared a little picture-rama for your review.

These are listed in no particular order but I would say we mainly catch the mangrove snapper and the gag grouper. This last weekend, we caught almost all sheepshead, although we were on a new pier. And, Joey caught one random Spanish mackerel one weekend. We never keep anything. We know we have caught some mangrove snappers and sheepshead that were keepers but at this point we have just been tossing everything back.

We did buy a stringer line this last weekend so the next time we go, we are going to try and keep some sheepshead. We hear they are really good to eat so we decided we wanted to check it out. I'll keep you posted.

So, that's it - my fishing update. Come on down to Florida and you can fish with us. We see dolphins almost every weekend and we've even seen a manatee once when fishing. It's fun.
