Fishing and Catching Sun in the ‘Glades Aaron Gordon

            This latest expedition, we traveled to Everglades National Park for a 6-day canoe trip that took us through the brackish mangroves all the way out into the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  Throughout the whole canoe trip, we caught tons of Catfish, some Sand Perch, and Jon and I caught a Black-tip shark.  This expedition was the first time I actually caught a decent sized eating fish, and not a baitfish. 

            While we were in the Keys, I had no idea what I was doing when it came to fishing.  However, over this past expedition, Anders has helped me a lot with fishing.  He began teaching me fishing knots, and giving me his all- knowing knowledge on fishing.  Anders, Jon and I spent countless hours fishing during our canoe trip.  All around, it was awesome! 

            Along with all of the fishing we did, we caught a lot of sun.  As it usually goes with people who don’t face the sun a lot, we faced some pretty nasty burns.  However, the aftermaths of the burns were some nice looking tans. 

            Overall, this expedition was a lot of fun.  The Everglades is definitely a place I would like to visit in the future, maybe without the bugs though.
