Yesterday Tod and I ran down to some offshore structure that was different. Tod found it last year while we were paddling around in search of new places. It doesn’t look like much on the screen, but it holds fish. I managed to jig up a 36” cobia (a dip net is the answer for controlling undersized fish), a snapper and a lovely scorpion fish. After releasing one last year I talked to a chef who encouraged me to keep the next one to eat, and that is what I did. Spines everywhere and fins covered in nature’s “don’t touch me” colors had me a little on edge, but I got him on ice without incident. I found a floating barrel drifting by, and made a long cast with a little chrome jig. It was instantly hit by a chicken dolphin and she came aboard to add to the variety. Trolling produced ten kings and a few Spanish macks. It was nice to finally be in fishy water!

Video was shot until the battery died, and I will upload to the office PC next week and see what we have to work with.
