One little bass. Maybe we aren’t getting out early enough?  80 degrees and the sizzling Florida sun had us off the water and in the shade by early afternoon.

Time on the water has been pretty good for bird watching. There are heron and egret of all types, the rarer purple gallinule, and many very vocal, typically bashful limpkins.  Moorhens and coots chatter and hoot which sets off a cacophony as every species alarms at intruders (us).  It makes for great entertainment especially when the fishing is so slow
