At the urging of a good friend (Hi Suz!), we took the kids, and two fists full of hot dogs, to the Stinson lagoon today where we tried our hands at a little crab fishing. I had never heard of such a thing but it was super cool!
With little wiener bites hooked, we cast our lines...
...and we waited patiently...
...until we caught our first one!
Within no time, we had caught four crabs (!!!) and Lil' Miss was doing the *pincher* dance on the dock. Then the resident Debbie Downer walked by and told us that the crabs were an invasive species that had been wreaking havoc on the local eco-system for years and that the federal government had spent untold amounts of money to remove them (unsuccessfully, I should add).
Geez. I wonder if the Feds ever tried hot dogs?
