And hate to say it, but not helping the credibility factor by asking someone that goes by "TheBeerGuy" to chime in...

Ha Ha Ha! If the guy who we bought the boat from was on here, I'd have him chime in as well...
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark
Have you guys seen that Monsterquest episode on History where they're searching for the elusive Florida Gulf Coast sea-monster? It's been filmed several times in shallow water, although the video looks like something out of a crappy SciFi movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuWYgWThd4o

The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing. ~Babylonian Proverb
I saw something very similar to what GalantNole described up in North Bay by the old fuel depot pier in Lynn Haven. It ended up being a dolphin trying to corral some mullet in about 3-4 foot of water. All I saw was a one to two foot v-shaped wake hauling butt toward shore. The only reason I knew it was a dolphin was at the end a mullet jumped and the dolphin rolled, stuck his head out of the water an inhaled the mullet while it was still in the air.
Dear Lord, please let me be the kind of person my dog thought I was .....

Saw that episode. That's probably what Galantnole saw. The show was inconclusive. I say they sneak up on it in a kayak and sling a harpoon into it. If they come up with a manatee; try again.
Jeff's photo is of a pod of dolphin on a bunch of mullet. Watched a pod of five work like that all the way across in front of Live Oak Island last Thursday afternoon. Poor mullet were flying everywhere.
Several weekends ago there was a bunch of six manatee mating in the boat basin at Live Oak Island. didn't have a camera on me, some of the other folks did, but I didn't really see anything to take a photo of. Bunch of brown manatee in shallow, badly stirred up, brown muddy water. They stayed overnight and left the next afternoon.
