Thursday, 4/14/11 … the rhythm of morning, the cast net and sunrise

Pretty much every morning at sunrise for most of the year, seven days a week, I’m out throwing the cast net for bait fish, generally catching thread fins and pin fish, somewhere on the bay or the gulf, near Captiva or North Captiva.

We use thread fins day in and day out fishing for snook, redfish, etc.

And a big pin fish under a float can be very attractive to a tarpon at the right time of the year.

Some days it is easy finding the bait and some days it is difficult … and it can be grind.  But there is also a timelessness, rhythm and peacefulness in the solitude and beauty of throwing and pulling in the cast net at sunrise.
