2014 March - Florida Pier Fishing

We spent some time in Florida at the end of March and went fishing on our favorite pier.  We were there only a few minutes when I got a subtle take on my bait.  I was surprised when I started to reel in to feel the fight and saw it was a snook!  I got really excited especially when the fish got wrapped on one of the pier supports, but Frank helped me figure out what to do and another fisherman had a net to help me land it.
We also got to see a "cow fish" that was caught in a net by another fisherman.  The little fish is very strange - it has 2 little horns and a flat bottom.
We also saw several pelicans and I took a photo of one that was guarding a fish head.
Another beautiful day fishing in Charlotte harbor.
