Catching Devil Rays on Grayton Beach A Personal Share

Some of you may have noticed I have been quiet lately…losing your dad is hard. I think you see posts from time to time about someone loosing someone they love and you pause and think how terrible…but you don’t get it…until you do. Trying to stay in the moment with my kids is something that has become more important to me in light of everything that has happened. I remember my childhood and how awesome it was and I want my kids to have the same sentiment and just know that they are loved. One of things I did as a kid and all growing up was Grayton Beach <3 I love that I can take my kids to that same beach and give them experiences they won’t soon forget.We went Friday afternoon and it was simply gorgeous (albeit cold for this Florida beach girl) and Greyson and Jon tried to fish even though it was very rough (it was like glass on Thursday 🙂 and had no luck until…

 

We were in the truck, packing up, and getting ready to leave when Jon was reeling the last line in (Greyson and Presley were over in the lake on the kayak – Greyson paddling, Presley dancing on the back 🙂 and he called out that he had something. Probably the most interesting thing we have caught; I think he accidentally hooked into his wing as he was reeling in but it appeared that a shark or something of the like had already bitten that wing as well. I am not 100% sure but from what I could research it appears that we caught a Devil Ray (weigh in if you know more than I because I could be wrong). Looked like a mini Manta Ray and was so neat for the kids to see and touch. Greyson even released him and then helped him back out when he tried to come back in. It was so neat!
