Fish On and Other Stuff

November 17 – December 14, 2015

Did someone say rain? We arrived on Thanksgiving and got to enjoy a few days of sun, but that didn’t last long.

The next couple of weeks we had drenching rainstorms and winds, so we kept ourselves entertained getting out when it stopped and looking around the Fort Pierce and Vero Beach area. We are trying to see if we might want to make this the winter get away spot for SIT in the future.

We have had some nicer weather the past couple of weeks including record breaking heat. Oh and that pesky thing called humidity. That is a bit different for us so you look for shade and enjoy the breeze. Hanging out by the water does help.

We played 9 holes of golf on a course that is not too far from where we are staying. I didn’t take any pictures this round but don’t worry, we will be playing more golf.

We took one fishing charter as we are trying to learn the good fishing spots in the intercoastal water way. We had a great time and caught more fish we couldn’t keep than we could, but the ones we could keep taste wonderful. We will head out again with Dustin our guide.

Our Catch

We are trying to learn the water a bit in order to take our fishing kayaks out. Hopefully we can have success fishing from them. For me my goal will be to not fall out when I cast!

Izzy is having fun since Steve can give her a run most days from the RV park. The RV park doesn’t have amenities but is in a good location for walking and heading to the waterfront.

Steve and Izzy will go to the fishing pier most mornings and check out the action. He is getting excited about trying to fish from there as he is custom making a fishing cart that will carry the gear, ice chest, and bait. We will hopefully try it out soon. Us westerners need a bit of acclimation before we spend 8 hours out there.

We decided to stay here as we were going to be helping at the KOA as camp hosts. Unfortunately the owner hired another couple in September so we aren’t working for them right now. I don’t think we mind too much, since this gives us our freedom each day. We may end up helping in the near future, but won’t crush us if we don’t. I think Izzy probably likes that best too.

I will give you another report in a couple of weeks. Maybe I will have some pictures of Manatees and dolphins that hang out in the river close to the RV park.

Also, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you are able to spend it with either family or friends or both!
