On Wednesday, Jan. 7th we had a great Kayak Fishing Excursion. We went out of Convoy Point, the headquarters of Biscayne National Park. The day started with a beautiful sunrise and some pelicans diving on bait.

We got out on the water and immediately saw signs of fish. We had a few hits but no solid hook-ups.

As the morning progressed our luck improved and we put several fish in the boat. We also got to see some impressive aerial displays by some fighter jets from Homestead Air Force Base.

We ended up catching several trout, ‘cudas, and jacks. Everyone had a great time and the weather was perfect. It definitely beats a day in the office!
