Expedition Journal
As I write this journal, I am aboard the shark tracking boat positioned
over Key Largo Hill. The day has been a little slow with a lack of shark
activity or "yellow-tails" for bait. Previously we have been over Elbow Reef
and the 105 Reef. I watch with great interest as amberjacks are reeled in.
A combination of blood and guts from these fish form a slick around the boat
to attract the sharks. Bait just can't get any fresher than that! So far,
we haven't been successful but continue to relay our position coordinates to
the Carolyn Chouest. The day is still far from over, though. Our first day
of broadcast promises to provide new challenges for the production crew and staff.
Stay tuned...
