Or in our case, "Carpe Carp"... seize the carp! A few days ago we launched our kayaks on Hillmoor Lake in Port St. Lucie. Beach Cruiser Barb and I have walked the Woodstork Trail in this pretty park and it looked so inviting to go explore the freshwater pond and its two 'arms', so Dave and I returned to go yakking (the buoys in the background are for remote control sailboat races).
What fun to launch near the alligator sign, but even though we didn't see the big one that several people told us about, we did see some four footers.
We saw all sorts of fish, which we think were large carp, and they were nesting in the sand. They may also have been tilapia, and I really think I saw a fresh water snook as we paddled along in the clear water. Water birds were all along the shoreline and we also saw a pair of sandhill cranes getting a drink and hunting in the high grasses.
On the way home, we witnessed a family of sandhill cranes crossing the road and the youngster was browner in color. They are such good parents! It was definitely another 10 day.
