Location: Estero Bay, Fort Myers Beach, FL, Gulf of Mexico
headed out mid morning in hopes of snagging a jack, snapper, or snook. those hopes were quickly dashed by terrible fishing (talked to 4 other anglers on the water and no one was catching a thing: live bait, dead bait, plugs, it didnt matter lol). so i ended up paddling from Lover's Key State park to big carlos pass and back.
while on the water I ran into schools of mullet numbering in the hundreds. A bottle-nosed dolphin showed up to teach me how to hunt them properly. the lone flipper decided to stay within 100ft of the boat for half hour and at times was as close as 6 feet. we were both in about 2 feet of water.
i apologize for the terrible photoquality, i took my ancient point and shoot with me and left the DSLR at home. lol
