The dolphins were likely tagging along with me in the no wake zone to catch mostly mullet but probably some other stuff flushed with me driving through.

Back in NY now. Dolphins come in at low tide behind the house and flush sea wall and other bank of the boat channel. The fish jump out of the water as the dolphins chase them.

Another pic is catfish outside a local bar under the dock. When we're done eating shrimp we toss the shrimp peels to them.

Mostly have video so im posting screen shots.

We were out on the boat not far from the house and had at least 4 dolphins around us. Here's pic with a few in the frame.

Kids feed the mallard ducks that hangout around our docks and lift.

Also have a great blue heron we named Oscar that pops in often but wasn't around this trip for some reason. Kids toss him fish and other food we save for him from a few feet away. He just chills for a bit and then goes on his way.

Gulf is pretty shallow at 20 or so feet or less depending on tide until it drops off a few miles out. Once the wind gets up to 13+ mph it gets a bit choppy and rough. Fun though. This was passing the others on the boat on a 14 mile one way ride coming back from a sand bar island we hang out at.

White sharks are out by escarpment waaayyy out and down by the keys. Lot of pings around Daytona and throughout the east coast too. Bucket list item of mine would be to go on an ocearch outing to catch and tag one.

These birds followed our kayaks . 
 

The ski show had to briefly stop today because of Manatees.

@Nomad yea where we were almost all have headed further out into the gulf. We get one passing through once in a while this late. Early to mid February we see a lot. Still some up rivers at springs though this late.
