PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Today we learned more of the humane killing of fish involving shocking then killing it rather than suffocating it.
THE FISHING JOURNAL ALLOW US TO LOOK BACK AND SEE THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE WERE FISHING IN AT THE TIME.
We use shrimp and mullet as our most common bait, depending on what we are trying to catch. In some of the freshwater lakes we fished with bread! Although we did not catch anything with it atleast the fish were fed.
We set up our own rods by attaching hooks and weights to a lead attached to the string of the pole; when that is done we hook bait onto it and we are ready to fish!
Filleting is the art of cutting a fish so you can cook it, which is what we learned about today.
Catching and releasing a fish: You want to pull it out of the water as safely as possible to remove the hook also trying to keep it in the water as much as possible as not to suffocate it.
This is a sketch Jonah made while Mathew was surf fishing at Edisto beach. The picture is simple but needs to be nothing more, because it describes our trip perfectly.
In one of these two photos we see people preparing the table or the rest of the group, in the other we see Ryan tending the grill which he did for an additional 2 hours.
"My love for the water from fishing carried over and that is why i joined the Navy" - Veteran we met at McAlpine Creek who is a part of an organization called Healing Waters.
While at Edisto Island helped restore clam beds to restore the coast of an inlet; and that is what you can see in these photos.
I believe this image reflects our intersession perfectly. It is something natural and at the same time a one-in-a-million occurrence that can be appreciated for its simplicity and beauty.
