Nah - I'm ex-Army. (Nothing against the Navy, mind you.) The wife suggested it, since she hadn't been there since she was 13, I'd never been there before, it was a one-tank drive from the Viking lodge, and I'm enamoured with St. Augustine (I bet I know it almost as well as the locals by now). We got a 2 BR cottage in the state park, and brought some freeloaders with us. LOL. And those little black fiddler crabs everywhere make good bait. Too bad the weather sucked.

Yeah, nice area. Take a trip to Cumberland Island if you haven't yet.
I was gonna suggest Sonny's BBQ, but I'm guessing the Viking has already sacked and pillaged that before.

Personally I call porpoise the marlin protection society!
Three times when I was baiting a marlin with live bait i’ve had a porpoise charge the marlin and hit it in the side just before it took the bait.
Apparently their eyesight is extremely good and they either cold see the hook or the leader and knew what it was and kept the marlin from taking the bait.

Naw, I turned it loose after we boated it.
Of the over 200 that I’ve caught I’ve only boated 2, the first one and one that the mexican boat crew insisted on boating.
I didn’t know until later that there hadn’t been a marlin caught at the cape in over 10 days and that a camera crew from a rod and reel co. had offered a $100 reward for the first marlin brought in.

Viking also sacks and pillages a blackened mahi sammich from Harry's every chance he gets. And yeah, I believe you're referring to Sonny's over on the island. Been there, raped that, too. LOL The wife is San Sebastian port junkie, and Bill and Sunny take care of my Lizard Spit addiction at Mara's. (The Gator Spit will put lead in your pencil, too. LOL)

Marlin is good but I have only had the belly used in ceviche.
Excellent and refreshing.
Dunno what became of the rest of it

This wasn’t an accident, the dolphin did this on porpoise.

Apparently 36 of the U.S. Navy’s trained cetaceans have gone missing in the Gulf of Mexico, could be wearing special harnesses carrying “toxic dart” guns (can’t be good), and have been trained to shoot at divers in wetsuits simulating terrorists in exercises. Their coastal compound was breached during Hurricane Katrina, sweeping many of the mammals out to sea, and though the Navy isn’t confirming it, sources close to naval intelligence confirm that perhaps now is not the time to take that underwater pleasure diving excursion in the Gulf.
