Today marks a week in the same place due to weather, but it is changing. Today is calmer, but we have decided to wait until tomorrow to move on when it is supposed to be calmer yet, for the next 3-4 days. We noticed a distinct increase in the roll of the boat overnight, so we will likely move to a spot a lttle flatter if we can find one, then go real early tomorrow and finally get across the bank. Yesterday was a good day though. Got some work done on the boat, a little fiberglassing and some waxing, a good snorkle, saw a 8 foot nurse shark camped out under the boat, swam with turtles and a bunch of fish. In the afternoon, I fished of the swim platform and caught snapper at will off the stern. They like bait, but hit plastic as well. We have a cast net that Eric gave us, which lets us get an ongoing supply of silvery minnows 4-8 inches long, hook them on a jig and it is instant action. Last night though, we were shining a light off the stern to attract the bait fish, and for fun, I dropped a jig with some plastic on it down into the lighted water. Instantaneous action! A 6-8# Crevalle jack hit it and took a half hour to land on light tackle. So tomorrow will likely be on the road for 2-3 days.
