Yesterday, I had a day off because Uncle Art was having his boat fixed. It had a place where it was leaking, but now it is all fixed so we went out today. I got up at 4 AM, and Uncle Art and Aunt Pennie went to say goodbye to Aunt Ruth Ann and Uncle Rich. I got ready to go. We left at 5 AM to go to the wharf. It was not foggy at all, which was good. We went out, and we were only hauling singles today.
We had 8 bags of new Rock fish. We got 4 of them and put them in the bin so I could bait the irons. They were frozen so I had to pull them apart from eachother. We did not use any Herring today, only Rockfish. We got a lot of good lobsters today, some really big ones, 3 pounders. We ended up with 400 pounds. It was not bad but it wasn't that good, but the good thing is that we got done before 11 AM. Thats probably the earliest day I have ever had. Usually we are done at 12:30 or 1 PM. We flew through the single traps though.
When I got home, Aunt Pennie was telling me how I could kayak down to the Kaeg store. It is on the river, so I could kayak from the house, in the water to the Kaeg store, instead of biking all the way down there. Tomorrow, me and Aunt Pennie are going to kayak down to the Kaeg store at 7 AM, because that's when the tide will be in. It was really sunny today, so I had to put a ton of sunscreen on so that I would not get sunburned.
