Between the heat, the thunderstorms and a wasp nest, I did not get out much over the past three weeks. I went to the lake a few times, but the trailer's tire sidewall is very cracked, so I didn't want to risk it.
Wasps are gone, heat is lower, and I have no more excuses.

Morning
Last week was all storms, so back to the bay to clean up. Began practicing with the bait caster rod. Most of the time, the reel goes too fast and the brake causes the whole thing to stop, it when I am really gentle, it works okay. I did get out every day this week.

Blue angels, and then heaps of rain. I did get out on Sunday, and had a swimbait bitten in half by something with teeth. The latest reports have mentioned bluefish, so hopefully next week will have some decent days.

I'm back on the Old Bay, but hardly anyone else has splashed their boats yet.
I did some short trips to the drawbridge, Horseshoe Point and CoC.

Rays in Tampa Bay
Took a long cruise from Snead island back home. Dolphins popping up on either side just past the railroad bridge was the thrill of the upwind trek. And a bunch of local rides around the river.

Dolphin
I saw some dolphins at the mouth of the harbor and took some decent video of them splashing. E's family was here, so quick harbor trips.
