The ride out was a little chilly but not cold enough to wear a coat. The gulf was like an old friend I hadn’t seen in a while. It was good to see the ocean again. I wish this report was like most of my other reports, but once in a while you have to pay up with a poor report like this, here goes!

I don't know if it was a sea robin. I did not even want to touch it because it resembled a lion fish. You can't see it in the picture, but the fish had quite an array of fins both dorsal and pectoral. But the fish was kind of funny looking.
