See this guy? He's known as a "fish hawk" aka osprey, and generally pretty good at catching fish. He didn't get any either. So we were feeling a bit better about only getting one nibble yesterday in two hours with our spinning rod & live shrimp bait...
So as any self-respecting cruisers would do, we took the dinghy to a deserted beach ... with shells ... and wandered. Out of nowhere a surf fisherman appeared, but he informed us that it wasn't us, that there just aren't any fish right now because of RED TIDE!
WHAT!!??? SO we've been thinking we're never going to recover from whatever the respitory crap that caught us up north might be ... thinging we're having a setback etc., and now we find out it's RED TIDE! That stuff is wicked, making our respiratory tracts feel ill even if we're not. So much for the extra vitamins!
And I think I'm glad we didn't catch a fish ... fish are dying everywhere around here, apparently from this red tide stuff. I wonder if we would have died if we'd have caught a fish yesterday that had the red tide illness that makes the other fish die.... wow.... not a good enough internet connection to find out, but we won't be fishing anymore this week!
