Back In The USA - Part 2

Fishing continues to be patchy with the fly rod, but its such a nice way to fish, so I'll persevere.

Took some time of this morning to go to a turtle nest excavation with Anna Maria Turtle & Shorebirds people. The work these people do never ceases to amaze me.

Lots of hatchlings made it out to sea with just these 2 little guys left in the nest (they'll be released later tonight when its dark).

Spent a few hours practicing jump rolls and speys casts before having a fish, mixed variety came to hand before stopping and watching the schools of juvenille manta rays patrol the shoreline surf, they swim right up to you before making the move round you. Did spot some adult ones of Bean Point and they were massive.

Lizard Fish

 Saw a Kemps Ridley turtle about 50 foot from me, great sight. Just packing up for lunch and I spotted a fish of about 2 foot long cruising towards me, so it was worth a cast it was only when it was coming to the surface and about 3 foot from me that I realised it was a small black tip shark, so that was enough of a signal for me, time for lunch.
