St Marks Lighthouse 3-16-07

Got a late start cause the weather radar didn't match what was going on outside and I took a chance and went fishing. Wind had the water laid down good this morning, but when the clouds started getting thick, I had to make a long paddle from one end of the East River (The farthest End) back to the lighthouse. The wind was really chopping up the water on the paddle back and i hate it when its like that. And when I got back, it died down again. I managed to spend most of my time paddling and caught one small Redfish and one small bluefish. I guess tomorrow we will target Green fish. Went over to the Wakulla River to get wome relief from the winds and took a quick picture of a Manatee, but its not a great shot. Then a boat ran over him and blood went all over the place, no, no, that last part I made up. The Manatee is okay.

You could have said it was a nice size Red if you didn't include the pics of your feet. Take lesson from Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston.. Hold that fish right up to the camera..

What do you keep you're digital camera in and dry while fishing the Yak? Ziploc?

Nice day on the water!

Camera is a Waterproof Olympus 720SW, so I don't use anything to keep it in.
