As I enjoyed my lunch break today, watching the swaying trees beneath the overcast sky, my thoughts drifted back to a memorable fishing trip Tania and I embarked on January 26, 2019. Despite the challenging weather conditions with the wind whipping across the water, we had an unforgettable experience.

Our primary target for the day was sheepshead; after some persistence, we finally located them. We hooked around 20 sheepsheads but released most of them because they were short.

Nevertheless, we proudly brought home six decent sheepsheads, measuring between 13 to 14 inches. Tania, displaying her angling skills, reeled in a 19-inch black drum. We also caught a few snappers, encountered several small jack crevalle, and even caught a baby cuda.

We ran out of bait, so we returned to the dock by noon, just in time to avoid the approaching rain. Tania and I send our best wishes to all fellow anglers, hoping your fishing adventures are safe, blessed, and full of tight lines and good times! Until next time, keep casting and chasing those dreams on the water.
