Last week I fixed the main engine on one of the shrimp boats at our dock. The guys that own and run the boat are twins and 73 years old, so I try to give them a hand when I have the time as they are great folks to be with. So we had to test the engine and went out for a days fishing for shrimp. We got out late, so only did one drag but had about 80 pounds of shrimp to take back to the dock. I got a bag full to take home with me for dinner and a bucket full of fish for my crab traps. Sorry about the poor pictures, but all I had with me was my phone.
The dolphins bit the head of the fish that stick through the mesh of the net.

Those guys having a rest after they fed on the by catch that we shoveled back overboard

And then there is Scraps, a great igrit that had a broken leg and gets fed by the twins every time they come back from a fishing trip. He gets on board as soon as we pass under the bridge a mile away from the dock and wants his share of the catch.

He just gets some fish but will nick a shrimp or five out of the baskets when no one is looking.

Nice Michael, the pics aren't too bad for a phone, thanks for posting. It's nice the twins are generous to creatures in need as well!

I went out again today and I can now say that it is safe to swim in Port royal Sound as we fished every jellyfish that was in there out and dumped it on deck .... It was full of the buggers, never seen anything like it.
This was just the little try net after 15 minutes in the drink.

And the freeloaders spotted us as soon as we got back into the creek

Michael, is that a Detroit diesel? Looks to be a 3-71 series.
