As you know, I love to go fishing. Being on the water with the fresh air is the best. I especially love fishing in Louisiana because there are not a lot of people around. (Compared to my Florida experiences.)

Our fishing camp is in the marsh. It was our first time staying there since before Hurricane Katrina.
It was strange coming back, because while our camp was restored to working order, Thanks Billy!!! – Everything was also different. Our fishing spots we would always hit, no longer existed. Even canals we would take out to the beaches are completely gone. Needless to say, it will be a learning curve to get back to the level of fishing we were at, pre-Katrina.

But, you have to start somewhere. And our first official day back on the water – was a day, not about the fish (though we did manage to catch some….) rather, it was a Day of the Dolphins.

If you like to fish, then you already know that when dolphins are around, you will not have success catching fish. They scare them off. And while I LOVE to see dolphins in Florida, I HATE to see them in Louisiana. It seemed like they chased us around all day. For about 45 minutes, they were swimming with our boat as we were going. Must have been 10 or 12 of them, on either side, splashing and playing. It was pretty incredible. Quite a show. I have never seen anything like it before.

I have a great video of this which I will see about posting. Unfortunately, it is over a minute in length, and I worry my internet connection will not stay up long enough to load it. Needless to say, I WILL eventually put it up.

In the meantime, I will leave you with a few picture instead (from our last day of fishing).

Billy hamming it up for the camera!

The only redfish I caught this week. My favorite though! Yum, yum!

Also caught a crab. Of course I let him go, but I had to take a photo first. He is so cute!!

I will work on uploading that video too.
