Anclote Key Gathering 04/28/2007

[Fr. Frank]

I flew over Anclote today. Beautiful. Saw a huge school of mackerel nearly 1/8 of a mile across less than a mile to the NE, moving N. (I think they were mackerel - hard to tell from 300 ft at 80 mph) There were several school of baitfish within a couple of miles as well. The water was very clear, large fish like sharks easy to see, as well as several dolphin in the shallows of the sandbar N of Anclote. Couldn't fly low right over the island, it's not allowed. Ya' gotta maintain 2000 ft right over the island. But there were about 8-10 boats at the NE corner of the island.
