On the Water: It was a windy start to the month

Brooklynn Smith visiting from Flint, Michigan, is about as close as you want to get to a giant endangered sawfish. Brooke, along with friends Delaney Hope and Courtney Criswell, battled the big sawfish, estimated at 12 to 15 feet in length, boat side for a picture then a safe release. They were shark fishing with Capt. Jason Ramer out of Pinelands Tarpon Lodge. PHOTO PROVIDED
Like much of April, the first week of May continued with more windy days and a mild late season cool front. Overall, the days were nice, with the exception of the wind and slow tides that hampered anglers.
