here we are.
we love to fish.
this is our dock.
our first attempt was uh, ummm... well, interesting. we went down with our CHEAP fishing pole, pizza crust, marshmallow, and carrots for bait. we didn't have a weight for our line so as people passed they could see our incompetence- our human food floating on top of the water. we didn't catch any fish that day... BUT our second trip to the pier we met this young lad and his "paw-paw" they hooked us up with a rig, a weight and squid for bait.
is he not the cutest little fisherman you've ever seen?
before our third attempt at fishing we went to the tackle shop and picked up some squid, which the croaker really love. then we went down to the pier and fished. that day we caught 4 fish, a crab and a oyster toad. we were the only people fishing because it was rainy and cold, but we didn't care- we had the time of our lives
cutest fishersister i've ever seen.
now we are professional fishersistergirlfriends- we go almost everyday. we still have our CHEAP fishing pole, which surprisingly has allowed us to catch lots of fish. after we catch the fish we name it and then throw it back to it's home. i think eventually we'll bring some home for dinner, but i'm not sure mom is ready for a bucket of fish in her house yet.
oh my word! that is great. i'm so surprised that the fish didn't go for the floating food on day 1! golly.
ReplyDeleteso glad there has been success and thinking a fish fry sounds great!!!
Rach! look what i found...your blog! the title of this post reminded me of a singing group that i used to be a part of...the swimmin sisters. it was tonya and me. We had a list of songs that we wrote (with pencil on spiral notebooks), but tonya got mad at me once and tore it all up. Anyway, it's probably better that you are significantly older than your sister--less likely to break the fishing pole out of extreme annoyance or something. But seriously, I'm glad that you're getting some great quality time with the fam! enjoy it!
