We finally got a good day to go fishing. Barry was out in the canal next door...looking for breakfast.

---

It was one of those days when the winds were nonexistant... ...making the water as still as a mirror.

---

Wayne had brought along the casting net... ...and succeeded in bagging some pinfish for bait. Later on he casted a pinfish at a very large barracuda, but the cuda turned up his nose at it and lit out for other parts.

---

It was Saturday and as it was also the first decent fishing day in a while... ...we expected there to be a ton of boats out...but only two boats came near us the whole time we were out there.

---

The fishing today was not exactly spectacular... ...we caught a bunch of crevale jacks at that place where they seem always to hang out...I got a couple on the fly rod.

---

But we had about an hour of excitement... ...when we stumbled onto about a dozen permit [fish] including at least one that was huge.

---

I got a couple of shots at them with a crab fly on the fly rod... ...but no hookups. We'll find those fish again another day.
