Fishing Ocean from Shore April 3, 2015

Hi,

My cuts on my leg haven't improved enough to go back to the Lagoon. I'm hoping in a few more days the worst cuts will get better.

Went to beach in Stuart with my girlfriend, Angelica and her friend Holly (see below) and brought a fishing pole. I had never cast in the ocean from shore. So I cast for a while and got one strike by something that jerked the tail of my plastic bait then I saw a fairly big fish follow my lure. It was windy and the water was choppy and the waves were pounding. I switched to a heavier jighead and got another strike. Still no fish- but I did see another large fish (maybe a snook) swimming in the first cut of water.

So I finally caught a small Spanish Mackerel. Then about 10 minutes later another one. They had torn up my baits and I only had two left.

The girls left to make Happy Hour while I fished for another hour. I caught three more Mackerel and left when the sun started setting because the wind was howling and I was out of lures - having only the tail of one left.

Pray for healing. More from me later,
