Fishing at the Docks

Our first adventure in fishing started at the boat docks in town. We would eventually branch out to the rivers, oceans, and lakes, but it all started at the docks. It was interesting to fish at the docks because of the variety of strange and unusual fish that we caught. None of them were very big, but they were all a little strange (at least compared to what we were used to catching). Once while I was working Kristen took the kids to fish at the dock. Caleb caught some long, eel-looking type thing, and nobody dared to touch it to get it off the hook. They finally had to ask some man that was cleaning his fish at the cleaning station to help them. Apart from that incidence, they all did pretty good at baiting their own hooks, and taking off the fish that they caught.

We caught lots of flounder fish

Patiently waiting!

Here's the long, strange fish that Caleb caught

The rewards of patience

Kaden caught a fish and hooked it in the eye. When he tried to pull the hook out, the eye came out with it. Yes, this is the fish's eye on his hook. Gross!
