I made this video of how my day went,10-20-18, in the beginning I got the speed to slow but it picks up after I get my boat in the water, at the end you get to see me pull by boat out twice, not sure how I screwed that up. On weekends the Sebastian boat ramps are crazy busy so I like to put in at this little ramp not far from my house, it is on the St Sebastian River, we have always called it the creek, the downside to this is I have to idle all the way to the Indian River Lagoon. The only house you see on the left side of the creek, is where President Roosevelt stayed when he visited our area. The house sits on a higher bluff which is an old Indian burial ground. Once I leave the creek I still have to idle till I get to the channel. Then I can get up and run. I am looking for pompano, to find them I run till one skips out of the water. I only saw two fish all day, I did end up catching one but did not have my go-pro on at the time. You don't catch fish every time you go fishing but have to go every day because you can not tell which day you are going to catch. While I was fishing a school of silver mullet came by me. I have never seen them bunch together like this, the only time I have seen fish do this was in a pond where there was not much oxygen in the water. I am now worried that the red tide has made it's way to us. The west coast of Fl gets it, but it is a natural thing over there, somehow it came around the Keys and has been working it's way up the east coast, I heard it was in the river now, they had a huge fish kill in the river a few towns south of me, With the shape the river is in I do not know what is going to happen but I do know it is going to be bad. My motor would not start, no clue why but I am sure I flooded it while trying to start it, so I fished while letting it rest and another ball of silver mullet came by me. Three manatees came by me, we call them sea cows, they are always fun to watch. When I was going back to the boat ramp and got under the US1 bridge I started seeing rafts of yellow crud on the water, it might be pollen but it did not really look like it and I am not sure there is pollen now. I hope you enjoyed spending the day with me.
