A
A
As
a
naturalist,
I
tend
to
think
of
every
fishing
trip
as
more
of
a
marine
biology
lesson.
Sure
I
want
to
catch
fish,
but
I
get
just
as
excited
about
what
other
animals
live
in
this
habitat,
what
the
fish
are
eating
and
what's
eating
them,
but
the
first
step
is
to
get
some
bait
now
we
could
buy
bait,
but
it's
a
lot
more
fun
to
catch
your
own
and
besides,
the
marsh
is
full
of
cool
stuff
man.
A
These
guys
are
quick
and
you
can
see
how
they
avoid
being
eaten
by
you
know,
night
herons
and
ibis,
and
things
like
that
they're
actually
kind
of
hard
to
catch,
sometimes
and
there's
a
really
deep
kind
of
a
mud
hole
in
the
puff
mud
right
here.
So
I'm
definitely
going
to
avoid
that,
but
there's
a
lot
of
them
in
here
man,
fiddler
crabs
are
really
abundant.
A
A
Now
you
can
get
minnow
traps
pretty
much
anywhere,
so
these
are
at
you
know.
Hardware
stores
and
pretty
much
anywhere
on
the
coast
is
going
to
have
these
minnow
traps,
so
they're
very
inexpensive,
and
it
is
a
really
really
great
way
to
catch
bait.
The
only
thing
is
you
got
to
keep
track
of
them,
so
what
you
don't
want
is
for
the
rope
to
break
off
and
for
them
to
end
up
in
the
marsh,
because
you
don't
want
them
catching
things.
A
A
That
is
just
amazing
and
you
can
see
how
quickly
this
happened.
Just
in
that
short
period
of
time,
look
at
the
mummy,
chalks
or
mud
minnows,
so
that
little
bit
of
bait
and
there
must
be
30
or
40
in
here-
and
these
are
great
bait.
Well,
you
can
use
these
to
catch
red.
Drum
flounder,
all
kinds
of
cool
things:
okay,
so
we
stopped
a
different
spot.
I'm
going
to
see
if
we
can
catch
some
different
bait
here.
A
A
Okay,
let
me
show
you
what
we
have
here.
We
have
we
caught
a
bunch
of
these.
This
is
a
little
atlantic
menhaden.
Of
course,
this
is
still
a
youngster.
You
can
tell
by
that
spot
right
there
and
really
really
important
fish
in
the
atlantic
food
chain.
I
mean
these
make
up
just
a
tremendous
amount
of
biomass,
they're,
critically,
critically
important
and
a
lot
of
things
eat
menhaden
for
sure.
So
that's
one.
Let's
see
what
else
we
have
here.
A
Some
of
these
are
hard
to
catch,
but
let's
go
ahead
and
go
with
this
guy,
not
a
fish,
of
course,
but
a
shrimp,
and
this
particular
one
is
called
a
white
shrimp
and
one
of
the
ways
I
can
tell
is
look
how
long
the
antennae
are
they're
twice
the
length
of
the
body,
a
brown
shrimp
would
have
much
more
shorter
antennae
and
look
looks
slightly
different,
be
a
darker
color
and
a
couple
other
things,
but
definitely
white
shrimp,
we're
gonna,
keep
this
one.
This
is
excellent.
A
Bait
looks
like
a
mullet
in
here
and,
let's
see
and
a
silver
perch.
So
this
is
one
of
the
drum
and
silver
I
can
hear
it
kind
of
drumming
a
little
bit,
and
these
don't
get
very
big.
They
only
get
about
that
long,
one
of
the
smaller
drum
species
that
we
have
quite
common,
especially
in
these
these
saltwater
impounds.
A
A
Okay,
let's
look
at
some
of
these
that
we
held
on
to
first
one
is
a
ladyfish
and
boy,
that's
a
so.
This
is
its
own
family,
a
lopidy
and
it's
a
really
cool
fish,
very
elongate,
it's
a
predator!
Of
course
you
can
just
tell
by
looking
at
the
mouth
huge
mouth
terminal
mouth,
which
means
it's
sort
of
right
on
the
end
here
and
big
mouth
for
catching
and
eating
other
fish,
powerful
tail
good
jumper.
So
if
you
catch
a
big
one,
these
can
be
two
feet
long
or
bigger.
A
You
know
they
jump
a
lot
almost
like
mini
tarpon.
So
that's
kind
of
cool
we've
got
a
little
spot
right
here,
that's
in
the
croaker
family.
You
can
tell
by
that
spot
right
there,
and
this
is
one
of
those
that
makes
kind
of
that.
Drumming
noise
with
the
sonic
muscles,
so
lots
of
these
people
can
eat
these.
I
mean
they
only
get
about
this
long
or
so
so,
they're
small,
but
very
good
to
eat,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
got
so
excited
about.
A
Was
this
one
right
here,
there's
actually
a
couple
of
these
leather
jackets
and
it's
it's
a
jack
very,
very
fast
fish
and
there's
really
impressive,
spines
on
it
too,
and
of
course,
it's
a
predator
big
mouth
very
fast,
moving
and
very
slimy.
You
know
they
don't
have
those
big
thick
scales
like
a
mullet
where
something
else
would
and
bright,
yellow
tail.
You
know,
maybe
this
is
to
deflect
the
tension
away
from
the
head
to
predators.
A
So
different
types
of
fish
require
slightly
different
strategies
for
catching
them,
so
today
we're
after
sheep's,
head
and
sheepshead
love
structure,
so
they
like
dock
pilings
and
things
like
that
things
that
are
covered
with
oysters
and
have
lots
of
crabs
around.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
use
a
rig
like
this
there's.
Actually,
I'm
going
to
use
two
different
kinds.
This
one
has
fairly
light
line
a
fluorocarbon
leader,
and
then
it's
got
a
number
one
hook,
a
circle
hook
and
then
a
sliding
weight.
A
So
the
way
this
works
is
the
weight
kind
of
sits
on
the
bottom
and
this
part
can
slide
up
and
down.
There
are
a
couple
good
things
about
this:
if
the
hook
breaks
off
you
get
your
weight
back
and
the
poor
fish
doesn't
have
to
drag
the
weight
around
and
then
the
other
thing
is,
the
fish
is
less
likely
to
feel
the
tug
of
the
weight
and
get
scared
away.
A
Now
another
rig
we're
going
to
use
it's
very
similar,
but
slightly
different.
It's
even
lighter
weight,
and
this
has
just
a
little
split
shot
on
it
and
the
idea
is
going
to
be
to
just
kind
of
hang
off
the
dock
and
just
sit
this
next
to
a
dock,
piling
kind
of
go
up
and
down
from
the
bottom,
all
the
way
up
to
the
surface,
and
hopefully
there's
a
sheep's
head
waiting
around
that
piling
and
then
what
they
really
like
to
eat
is
fiddler
crabs,
that's
their
favorite
bait.
So
that's
what
we're
going
to
use
today.
A
A
Okay,
I've
got
something:
it
doesn't
look
very
big,
so
this
looks
like
another
little
fish
that
frequents
docks.
This
is
a
pig
fish
and
they're,
pretty
fish,
they're
really
really
nice,
of
course,
grunt
family,
because
they
make
kind
of
a
grunting
noise
a
lot
of
times
when
you
catch
them-
and
this
is
a
little
guy-
they
get
way
bigger
than
this
for
sure.
A
Okay,
I
got
something
not
sure
what
this
is,
but
it
is
a
scroll.
It
is
a
little
sheep's
head
boy,
a
cutie
boy.
That
is
a
little
guy,
though
so
these
have
to
be
14
inches
long
before
you
can
keep
them
and,
of
course,
we're
not
going
to
keep
them
anyway.
We
just
wanted
to
catch
one,
so
we
could
get
a
look
at
it,
but
jeep's
had
a
couple
things.
You
notice
look
at
the
spines
on
it,
man
they
have
spectacular
spines
and
they
remember
the
porgy
family.
A
The
other
thing
is
look
at
that
vertical
banding
and
that
vertical
banding
really
helps
them
to
blend
in
with
vertical
structure.
Things
like
dog
pilings,
but
the
coolest
thing
about
these
guys
is
the
teeth.
Let
me
pop
this
hook
out,
but
look
at
those
teeth
and
I'm
going
to
be
careful
that
it
I
don't
get
my
hands
in
there
because
they
have
crushing
teeth.
In
fact,
the
teeth
look,
almost
human-like,
and
so
what
they
do
is
eat
barnacles
and
crabs
and
stuff.
A
So
they
have
the
equipment
to
crunch
them
up
and
they
can
actually
go
around
to
dock
pilings
and
just
crunch
away
at
the
barnacles
that
are
that
are
on
the
pilings
underwater
great
little
fish.
So
as
a
naturalist,
not
only
do
I
like
seeing
the
sheep's
head,
but
I
like
thinking
about
the
entire
natural
history,
I
like
the
fact
that
you
know
we
see
fiddler
crabs
in
the
marsh.
Some
of
those
fiddler
crabs
end
up
in
deeper
water
and
are
eaten
by
sheep's
head.
A
A
Oh,
my
gosh
look
at
this
sheep's
head
great,
big
sheep's
head,
so
just
trying
to
catch
some
bigger
bait
and
boy.
We
had
a
time
trying
to
get
sheep's
head
off
the
dock,
and
here
we
are
just
got
two
and
a
cast
net
and
boy.
These
are
nice
size
ones
too
wow.
It
just
goes
to
show.
I
mean
you
just
if
you
get
a
chance,
you
just
you,
never
know
what
you're
gonna
get
in
a
cast
net
or
on
a
fishing
line
or
whatever
I'm
gonna
do.
A
B
A
Look
at
these
spines
and,
of
course,
the
vertical
banding
really
helps
them
with
hiding
in
structure
and
things
like
that
delicious
to
eat.
By
the
way
a
lot
of
people
love
to
eat
sheep's
head,
so
we
had
a
little
bit
of
trouble,
catching
them
with
the
fiddler
crabs
on
a
fishing
line,
but
just
one
throw
the
cast
net
got
us
two:
okay,
I'm
gonna
get
this
little
guy
back
in
there
we
go
perfect,
so
we've
caught
some
pretty
good
stuff,
but
the
next
place
we're
gonna
go.
We
have
to
use
a
boat
to
get
there.
A
A
So
guys
we
got
a
there's
a
plastic
bag
here.
I
just
want
to
pick
this
up,
because
this
could
really
be
a
hazard
to
certain
things
see
if
I
can
get
to
it.
So
a
plastic
bag
like
this
can
do
a
lot
of
damage.
Things
like
sea
turtles,
marine
mammals,
all
kinds
of
stuff
can
choke
on
this.
So
if
you
ever
see
stuff
like
this,
when
you're
out
fishing
or
out
in
the
marsh
pick
it
up.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
There
we
go.
Let's
take
a
look
at
it,
so
atlantic
sharp
nose-
and
this
is
a
almost
an
adult
shark-
not
quite
it
has
some
more
growing
to
do,
but
you
can
tell
it's
got
those
wonderful
white
spots
on
it
and
a
really
long,
sharp
nose.
That's
where
the
name
comes
from
now,
one
of
the
things
about
sharks
is,
they
feel
really
rough,
especially
if
you
push
them
the
opposite
way,
and
that's
because
the
dermal
denticles
are,
you
know
they're,
just
almost
like
little
teeth
on
the
skin
of
the
shark.
A
I'm
gonna
put
this
one
back
in
because
it
looks
like
we're
getting
a
bite,
but
I
make
sure
this
one's
fine
before
I
so
make
sure
it's
in
good
shape
and
there
we
go
perfect.
Okay,
let's
see
what's
going
on
here
boy.
This
is
good
fishing,
there's
just
a
lot
going
on
today.
This
feels
like
a
shark.
I'm
feeling
head
shakes,
not
a
particularly
big
one,
but.
A
A
A
Let's
take
a
look
at
this
one,
so
bonnet
head
again:
hammerhead
family,
you
can
see
that
characteristic,
bonded
head
and
boy
look
at
the
huge
tail
big
dorsal
fin.
You
know
that
whole
hammerhead
family
has
big
dorsals
for
sure,
and
you
know,
a
great
hammerhead
is
just
ridiculous
how
tall
it
is
now.
These
are
relatively
inoffensive.
When
you
talk
about
sharks,
these
seem
to
be
a
lot
less
feisty
than
black
tips
and
some
of
the
other
ones
anyway
bonnet
head
shark,
a
great
one.
So
I'm
gonna
let
this
one
go,
make
sure
it's
doing
fine.
A
Guys,
if
you
look
right
over
my
shoulder,
there's
a
whole
group
of
oyster
catchers
right
there
really
good,
looking
little
bird,
great
orange
bills
and
real
kind
of
a
pleasing
call
too.
Now
we're
not
going
to
get
any
closer
because
we
do,
we
don't
want
to
disturb
them.
Oyster
catchers
use
these
shell
islands
like
this.
It's
really
important
nesting
habitat
for
them.
A
Now,
they're,
not
nesting
right
now,
but
it's
just
a
place
where
they
can
kind
of
sit
down
and
rest,
but
really
really
nice
bird
and
you
know
it's
the
kind
of
thing
when
you're
out
fishing.
This
is
the
kind
of
stuff
to
notice.
I
mean
you're,
not
out
there
just
to
catch
fish.
You're
out
there
to
experience
the
habitat.
A
Another
little
guy
on
boy
little
another
sharpness.
Well,
they
are
really
common
in
here.
It's
good
to
see
you
know
lots
of
sharks
around
is
a
good
thing,
because
sharks
equal
a
healthy
ecosystem
yeah.
This
feels
pretty
good
yup.
Another
atlantic
sharp
nose
boy,
it's
time
to
tie
a
new
knot
here,
look
at
how
frayed
that
line
is,
and
that's
from
the
teeth
of
these
small
sharks.
They
can
actually
damage
the
line
with
the
those
dermal
denticles
on
their
body,
but
I'm
sure
that's
from
teeth.
Rubbing
across
that
black
tip.
A
Black
tips
are
unbelievable;
they
are
one
of
the
toughest
little
sharks
you
will
ever
see
and
boy
look
at
the
build
on
that
shark.
I
mean
they
are
like
little
bodybuilders
sort
of
like
the
perfect
shark
shark
shape
whoa
there's
the
shark
on
here
no
now
this
is
one
that
a
lot
of
people
think
is
a
black
tip,
but
it's
not.
It
is
a
fine
tooth
shark.
In
fact,
it's
a
close
relative
of
the
black
tip.
Now
these
get
quite
big.
This
is
a
pup.
You
know
they
got.
A
A
A
Guys,
if
you
look
right
here,
there's
a
great
big
alligator,
an
adult,
maybe
an
adult
female,
and
I
was
looking
to
see
if
it
has
a
tag
on
it,
because
we
we
actually
have
been
involved
in
some
research
where
we
tag
alligators.
We
put
plastic
tags
in
the
tail
and
it
doesn't
appear
to
be,
but
here
we
are
at
in
salt
water.
I
mean
we're
out
well
away
from
really
anything
and
alligators
do
go
in
salt,
water.
In
fact,
they'll
go
from
island
to
island
and
sometimes
move
big
distances
through
salt
water.
B
A
It's
drummond:
you
can
hear
that
wonderful,
drumming
noise
and
god
that's
a
that's.
A
neat
sound
look
at
the
big
spot
on
the
tail
and
this
was
on
mullet,
big
chunk
of
mullet,
but
it's
pretty
big
fish,
so
these
get
even
bigger.
So
this
is
a
nice
sized
one,
but
really
big
ones.
You
know,
can
be
40
inches
long
or
more
beautiful
fish,
nice
sort
of
iridescent
shine
to
the
scales.
A
So
this
is
a
completely
different
ecosystem.
Fish
that
live
here
have
to
deal
with
waves
and
the
swash
zone
and
huge
changes
in
tidal
amplitude,
and
you
know
the
fish
aren't
everywhere
they're
in
the
trough
to
run
along
the
beach
they're
in
the
deep
spots.
So
our
challenge
is
to
get
our
bait
where
the
fish
are.
Now
we
have
some
bait
left
over.
Let's
give
it
a
try
and
see
what
we
can
find.
A
A
It
is.
I
can
see
these
little
tube
feet
moving.
So
this
is
a
lot
of
people
call
these
sand
dollars,
keyhole
urchins,
another
good
name,
for
it
really
really
interesting
little
animal.
It's
really
a
it's
really!
An
urchin
keyhole
urchin
is
a
pretty
good
name
for
it,
because
it's
in
a
kind
of
derm
and
sand
dollar
is
just
one
of
those
common
names
that
really
stuck.
A
But
I
can
tell
that
it's
alive,
because
I
can
see
these
little
tube
feet
moving
and
that's
not
only
how
they
move
their
bodies,
but
they
can
also
get
little
pieces
of
fish
and
little
or
piece
of
organic
material
and
actually
move
it
to
the
mouth
where
they
can
feed
on
it
really
really
neat
animal
perfectly
okay
to
keep.
You
know
a
dead
one
of
these,
but
you
don't
want
to
keep
a
live
one
I
mean
this
is
one
we
want
to
put
right
back
in.
Let
it
go.
A
A
A
This
is
one
of
the
catfish,
obviously,
and
I'm
being
super
careful
these
spines
because
that's
this
looks
like
a
gafftop
sail
cat,
and
this
is
species
that
we're
really
kind
of
concerned
about,
but
boy
they
have
wicked
spines.
What's
interesting
about
these
catfish
is
the
numbers
of
these
decreased
a
great
deal
and
they've
made
a
real
comeback.
I'm
sorry
it's
hard
to
concentrate
when
the
there's
a
bite
on
this
other
rod.
So
we're
going
to
pop
this
guy
back
in
and
let
it
go.
A
Guys
we
were
just
walking
down
the
beach
and
I
saw
something
fly
and
right
over
my
shoulder.
I
think
it's
a
peregrine
falcon
now
peregrine
falcons
feed
on
all
kinds
of
shore,
birds,
and
so
what
they
do
is
patrol
the
edges
and,
of
course,
they're
spectacular
flyers
and
they
can
come
down
and
ambush
those.
You
know
little
peeps
and
you
know
shorebirds
and
things
like
that,
and
so
I'll
bet
you
that's
what
that
that
animal
is
doing.
A
A
Okay,
so
I
got
a
fish
on.
I've
got
about
a
million
yards
of
line
so
and
plus
I
can
run
down
the
beach
too,
but
it
doesn't
feel
that
big
guys
it
looks
like
a
shark.
I
see
a
little
dorsal
fin.
It's
not
a
big
one,
looks
like
a
bonnet
head
nice
little
fish,
it's
kind
of
fun
having
to
surf
the
circle,
just
kind
of
bring
them
in
for
you.
A
A
Okay,
so
you
notice,
I
got
the
hook
out
and
I
really
like
to
get
the
hooks
out
on
sharks.
I
mean
it's
a
little
inconvenient
sometimes,
but
I
really
think
we
need
to
do
this.
If
you
gut
hook
a
fish,
it
may
not
make
it
guys,
obviously,
really
cool
fish
we've
caught
some
wonderful
fish
today,
but
just
remember
these
fish
can't
survive
without
clean
water
quality,
habitat
and
all
the
things
that
go
with
that,
and
also
remember,
you
don't
have
to
travel
to
other
parts
of
the
world
to
see
amazing
things.
