I went out to Middle Harbor with the rest of the family and the hardware store employee. He had me first practice casting out with just a sinker. There were a lot of sculpins (aka bullheads) about and they were trying to nibble on the sinker. As soon as a hook and bait was attached, they bit into them. I practiced catch and release with maybe ten or so of the fish. I’m still not quite comfortable handling slimy fish and removing hooks.
Towards the end I practiced a bit with casting out a spinner lure. I didn’t catch anything edible today, but that wasn’t the point of today’s exercise.
