bummer!We took the skiff out and did some neat exploring though (before we realized the shrimp pots were lost). We discovered a crabber's stash of crab pots, lots of really cool rocks, what may or may not be real gold, and saw our fair share of seals and some sort of weasel.

As evening came, we decided to try putting some of that herring to work as bait. For as long as I tried, I would get hard hits but all my bait would be stolen. Eventually, after we had given up and left the lines to 'soak' on their own for quite some time, Brett was pulling them in to go to bed, and to our pleasant surprise, we had a fish! It was a pacific cod, which we were happy about because they are good eating, and we had never caught one before!

{the baby thinks she is hot stuff getting to fish all by herself, while Jessa cringes in fear that she is going to lose her fishing pole in the process}
I fileted the cod out and we had fish-n-chips with shrimp for lunch the next day. Yummy!...we even fried the fries!

{my favorite shot of the day}Shrimp anyone?
In an answer to prayer, we were able to recover ONE of the shrimp pots, and in it 23 spot shrimp (which are technically prawns).
