Fishing with Jidu

This summer, the kids were old enough to go out in the ocean on Jidu's boat and go bottom fishing.




The kids were super-excited, and were helping in delight when I just happened to pick up the pole after a dish had been nibbling at the line and pulled in a queen trigger fish.




Each of the kids got to pull up two fish, though they were either "junk fish" (inedible) or mutton snapper that were too small. 

Sam pulled up the first fish, a blue runner, and later on would reel in one of the undersized snappers.




Peter brought in the second fish, also a small mutton snapper, and later in a trigger fish.



Sam encouraged his younger siblings, cheering for them as they fought with their fish and telling them they could do it.

Clementine pulled in a sand eel. We even saw two sharks from the boat, one had to nine feet! We think it was a tiger shark, the largest shark native to these water, but we weren't going to up in for a closer look!
