As we slept, the wind increased and by morning it was blowing 15 knots – still from the south. Gale tried his luck fishing again and was catching the same little fish as last night. We got out the Sport Fish of the Gulf of Mexico identification book and determined that these little guys were Inshore Lizardfish and considered to be pests to most anglers as they will strike on anything and are usually caught while fishing for something else.


The air was warm and very humid to start the morning, but around 9 am the front came through bringing a little rain, strong northerly winds and falling temperatures. We spent the rest of the morning working on the blog and other correspondence. At 2:15 pm we pulled anchor and motored slowly back to our spot at the Dunedin Marina. Gale wanted to try trolling a couple of lines behind the boat to see if he could catch anything that way. It took only an hour to get to the marina which wasn’t long enough to interest any fish.



We settled into our space at the end of B Dock and around 5 pm Craig dropped by for a visit. Dawn was attending a function with several of her girlfriends tonight, so he was on his own. We had a few snacks, a couple of drinks and a lot of laughs before Craig had to leave for home.
