Fishing

While we were at the beach, my mom took the girls and I on a fishing trip. We chartered a boat for four hours and went into the bay to catch some fish. Riley and Kamryn have wanted to go fishing for awhile now. We all very excited, even though we had to be there at 7am! We firmly believed we would catch some fish for our dinner that evening. It didn't quite work out that way though. We all caught fish, but none of them were the size or kind you could keep to eat. I caught the first fish, a trout, but it was too small to keep so back it went. Then, my mom caught a fish that our guide said they called a snake or lizard fish and we didn't want to eat that kind so back it went. The girls would get a little restless, but fortunately Riley got some bites to keep her interested. They took a little break to have a drink and some snacks. Then, it was Kamryn's turn to catch a fish - a mangrove snapper. But alas, it too was too small to keep.

We had some fun then because we had to outrun a thunderstorm. Fortunately, it was pretty easy and fun since we got to go fast! Riley caught our last and biggest fish of the day. Right before we had to head back, she caught a channel catfish. It was probably at least 5-8 pounds and took her and me to get it in. Unfortunately, you can't eat those fish so we had to cut him loose. At least, we all caught something and had fun doing it! the girls look forward to fishing again!
