Beach Vacation Part 4- Fishing

Brian always refers to our vacation week as "Fishing Week". His favorite thing to do at the beach is fish off of the pier. He had a lot of success this year. There was one night where he caught over 60 fish! My dad says that Brian has the magic touch- he can catch fish when no one else can.

There was also a lot of shark action going on this year. On our first night there, a guy caught a 5-foot shark off of the pier. I also saw two 3-foot sharks hauled in later in the week. Brian bought a new shark reel and some stronger line so that he could get in on the shark-fishing action. Sure enough, he caught a shark on his first night with the new equipment. It's always sobering to see someone pull a shark up out of the water. When people in the ocean see that, they tend to get out of the water.


Brian tried to get Olivia interested in fishing- and she was, but she was more interested in running around on the pier. I was nervous that she would run and get over the railing, so she wasn't allowed on the pier very often. Maybe in a few more years Brian can pass his fishing secrets down to her.
