Farley’s Friday: A Wheaten and His Pickerel

Farley here,

Can you believe I caught all these fish? Me either. But I did help. And a fishing guide helped to. He was amazing.

He knew all the rules, he knew where to find the fish,  he knew where everyone should drop their hook, and he how deep the lure should go.

So you’re wondering what I did to help. Well, I barked every time someone in the boat cast their rod. I barked when the fish came on board. I barked when the fish jumped out of the net and hit my nose. So basically, I barked.

Oh, and the guide cleaned the fish too.

Too bad I don’t like the taste, but everyone else seemed to.

Woof Woof.

Mahi Mahi: Fishing off a Catamaran

Sometimes life offers a bounty.  Mattina is equipped with two stainless steel rod holders, one off each hull, and we love to fish while we’re sailing. Sometimes we catch a Mahi Mahi . . .

Sometimes we catch a shark. The trick is to get the lure back without hurting the shark. This shark snagged a homemade cedar plug, and lucky for us, it popped out of the sharks mouth and we got the lure back. The shark swam happily, or maybe grumpily, away and all was well.

And sometimes we don’t catch anything at all, but we still got to sail.
