Ran out of Bait!

      Today, Uncle Art woke me up a little bit earlier than normal. At 4:09 AM. He went to bring in the boat, and then he came back to pick me up. I made a sandwich and packed some waters. Uncle Art picked me up and we drove down to the Wharf. He had the boat ready for us to go. We went out with 6 trays of red fish, and 4 trays of Herring. The Sunrise was very beautiful when I looked across the water.

        We were going to haul the double traps today. We had about 20-25 Pairs I think. We went through the day, hauling some pairs, then singles, then more pairs. We had some singles with a lot of lobster in them. Near the end of the day, we ran out of bait when we had only 15 more traps to haul.
We drove back to the Wharf and grabbed 1 tray of Herring and 1 tray of Red Fish. That was enough for us to finish up the 15 traps. We went in to the Wharf with a full lobster crate we filled. We put all the lobsters into their trays, and we ended up with over 650 LBs! It was my 2nd best day this year!




     I did not eat my sandwich on the boat when we had a Lunch break. I was not that hungry because I had some crackers before. I decided to save that sandwich until later. When I got home, I took a shower, and then I ate that sandwich and watched YouTube. At around 5:30 PM, Me, Levi, My Mom, and Uncle Art all went to The Happy Clam to eat dinner. I split an Angus Cheeseburger with Levi! We sat inside so we would not get bitten by the mosquitoes.

     After we were finished eating there, we went to Harjulas Ice Cream. It was an old truck that was turned into an Ice Cream store. It was really yummy! (I went there last year) It had an amazing view from the top of the hill it was sitting on. There was a little house but I was to tall to walk in it.

      After that, we finally went home where I could hangout for the rest of the night. Tomorrow, It was going to be a short day. Uncle Art said we would probably be done before 11 AM. That is good because I have to read 40 pages of The Alchemist. I might do some of that tonight even though it is really late.
