Squid Fishing!

It is that time of year. Squid Fishing!

We went with our Boy Scout Troop and was it cold! We prepared early and had the truck packed and ready with our portable chairs, poles, tackle, extra towels, blankets and the camp stove and all the wonderful stuff to cook up the squid fresh on the pier.

We were on our way. We finally arrive at the pier with the rest of the troop all bundled up! With the snow falling down around us. We set up our lines and started jigging for squid.

As we sat all bundled with hand and foot warmers, winter coats and poles in hand the only thing we could hear besides the wind howling were all the kids saying, "Mom or Dad, it's cold out here. When are we gonna leave?" We sat out in the snow and rain jigging for squid for what must have been a good two hours. Kirby walked up and down the pier and was talking to other scouts. Their success was as good as ours. After 2 hours of no squid we decided it was time to go. Maybe next weekend.

As we left the pier Kirby mumbled, "Squids 1, Humans 0."

Until next time.......
