The purple martins have been here in large numbers this year. We had been down to just a few pair just three years ago.
The fishing continues to be better than in recent years too. I don't know when I've seen the size and number of trout that have been coming in. Today two of us picked up 8 trout with two measuring 19 inches. We caught five at Mack Reef and three at Half Moon Reef. Other boats have been coming in with similar results.
