First Fish of the Year

First Fish of the Year

                
                    While bird watching Saturday morning, I saw these guys fishing at Fort Adams. 

                                            So I approached them. They were Portuguese.

                                    

                            They were catching mackerel.  So that is Fish #1 on the year.

                                         

                                                     Then I looked into the water.

                                     

                         …and there, you can barely see them- Atlantic silversides (Fish #2).

                      Then one of the fishermen caught a silverside and sheepishly posed it for me. The other fishermen laughed.      

                                            That’s the silverside dangling on the fishing line.
