Went out fishing with our neighbor Ron. He is trying to learn the area and wanted some help. We took his boat and headed out to the clam bar. The tide was rolling in, as we are experiencing spring tides.
As we drifted across the shallow sand, I could see something dark moving in the water about 50 yards away. We then heard something surface and exhale near the boat.
We looked back and a manatee was playing with the shrimp bucket.
He stayed with the boat until we decide to leave and head to the sand trout hole in front of Panacea Harbor.
The fishing report is: sand trout are stacked in the sand trout hole. We brought home 8. We anchored among 4 boats and everyone had bent boat syndrome.
