This past Saturday was a very cold fishing class and the fishing was a little slow. Even though the fishing was slow the students hung in there and kept fishing. Their determination finally paid off as the eventually started catching barracudas and even a flounder. We even had a few friendly manatees come right up to us to see what was going on.
I also wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of two of the students on Thursday. We were fishing out on the outside pier next to an elderly gentleman who had been out there fishing trying to catch dinner for a few hours. He was answering questions and talking to the students, when one of them caught a larger mangrove snapper. Instead of putting the fish in the bucket and keeping it, he walked the fish over to the gentleman and gave the fish to him for his dinner. We could all see he had been out there a while and getting cold. He was extremely appreciative and shortly after receiving the fish he packed up his equipment and went home to cook the fish.
