One fish, Two fish....................

I went out to my secret spot again yesterday.  As usual, I caught a hundert trout, but I also caught some different fish.  I think this one is a blue fish.

And, although I haven't seen a redfish in a while, I remember that they have a spot on their tails.  So I'm thinking this must be a redfish.

Later, I was using phish heads for bait on one one pole, and shrimp on the other.  I thought the phish heads might make good shark bait.  I was drifting along, eating lunch when, of course, I got strikes on both poles at the same time.  Since the phish head pole was in a rod holder, I set the hook, put it back in the rod holder, and grabbed the pole with the shrimp.  I figured it was a shark on the phish head, and I would just let him run til I got the other pole out of the way.   I got the trout off that line, and turned my attention to the "shark".  When I started reeling in the line, I saw that it was slack.  I thought the shark must have gotten off the hook.  Then I realized it was swimming towards the dinghy.  Fast.  As I was trying to catch up reeling in the line, the fish jumped out of the water right beside the boat.  About 4' in the air.  Fully expecting it to be a shark, I screamed like a little girl.  However, it wasn't a shark, but instead a ladyfish that was about 3 feet long.  One of the largest ladyfish I've seen.  It finally threw the hook, so there's no photo.


 I finally found a school of tarpon in a feeding frenzy.  Unfortunately, I was having dinner at the time.

While I was out fishing, Pammie was shopping or doing whatever women do, and the "service engine light" came on again in our wonderful Ford truck.  So I don't know if we'll make it back or not.  I'm trying to convince Pammie that we might as well stay here as be stranded along the road in Georgia somewhere.  Again.
