Well, this is starting to suck. I just realized in about 24 hours, I’ll be starting to pack things up and prepare to head home. I went down to drown a few worms this morning and my fishing partner headed straight toward me.



The little dinosaur seems happy to see me in the mornings and has become pretty good company. (Can you see him smiling?)



I think he wants me to scratch the top of his head for him!



Anyway, I dropped my line in the water and he kept his eye on my bobber for me.



Then I noticed an intruder! This little guy showed up to join in the fun!



Then I caught this little bait-stealin’ bastage and my buddies got all excited and told me how much they love me!



Joke’s on them though, as I threw their anticipated breakfast in the opposite direction! I’m sure that’s the problem. It’s obvious people have been fishing here and throwing scraps to the gators. It may sound like fun, but that’s what gets these guys killed. There’s a small kayak launch right next to the dock, so I’m sure Fish & Game will eventually have to call a trapper (like Tony used to do) and have these guys removed. They’ve obviously lost their fear of humans and now look at us as a food source. Sad.
