Day 14 - Poseidon called us to Neptune

Four pack a smiles!

Had breakfast with Grandma Betty this morning at FirstWatch. Prior to leaving for breakfast we packed up to get ready for our next destination – The Neptune Inn at Fort Myers Beach. Wasn’t long after breakfast – really lunch – that we were heading to FMB. Got in around 1:30pm and quickly unpacked.

Kicking at the FMB - CLT style!

It wasn’t but ten minutes before we were all down by the water. LT got out the cast net and started throwing. He caught plenty of bait fish and we were off to the races. LT killed it with the Snook. He must have reeled in at least 10-15 snook alone. Caught several sea trout which we contemplated on keeping and cooking later, but decided otherwise. Also managed to wrangle in several catfish, which we had no desire to do so. Lastly, LT caught 3 snook, 2 mullet and several other species in the cast net. I tell ya – if we were on an island without food, we would not starve as LT has the fishing/cast-netting thing down.

Up and close on some cool finds. All were released back to the wild.

Walks, ice cream and simply chilling made up the rest of the evening.
