Beach 3

The boys, big and small, wanted to go fishing.  So we hiked down to our old fishing grounds on Beach 3.  That is where we do most of our perch fishing.

 

This is our rock as we call it.  We have fished at this rock since I was a baby and maybe before.  It is really neat to see how it changes over the years.  Last year I was told that there was four more feet of it showing than this year.  It is crazy what the ocean and weather can do.

 

Digging in the sand, for what I am not sure.

 

Michael found a little cave in our rock - he thought it was so cool!

 

AJ talking to Uncle Al about fishing.

 

Off to play with the rocks and practice throwing them.

 

AJ finally was able to get one of the poles away from the big boys.  It was cold and nobody was getting a bite so everybody was about to pack everything up.  I figured AJ would hold the pole for about five minutes, get bored and then we could go back to camp.

 

But no, AJ had to go and catch a fish in about four minutes.  So everybody had to throw the poles back in and try and catch a fish.

Michael wanted to show me some tricks off the big rock - he was getting pretty good at his 360s.  After another thirty minutes of no more bites we were finally able to pack it in and head back to camp.

 

 

Al was showing them how to clean a perch.  Check out their faces, I don't remember which part this was, but love their expressions!!!

 

Michael checking out the fish cleaning.  I am not sure if either were as impressed, but they stood and watched and helped clean up the tools at the end.  AJ was so excited that he was the only one to catch a fish that day!!!  He told many, many people about it!
