I have only seen one this year and am assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that it is the same one

Cara cara

I believe that this is a juvenile. His coloring is muted, not as distinctive as an adult

I forgot to mention in the previous photo that the shore fishing is good. They are probably catching snook as they like the salt/fresh water mix....yummy robalo, my absolute favorite fish

The guys in this pic are using nets for something...fresh water shrimp, bait...who knows

The boca(mouth) of the estero has closed. The estero is filling up again...whew.
I figured it was a natural thing happening but with all the new wells around here was afraid that there wasnt enough water available.

Boca open again
