First outing of the season and it was back to the sandbar at Gwynn’s Island for the day.

Henry found a Canada goose egg. A little bit farther ahead we found a basically brand new Zebco 33 fishing rod complete with an incorrectly set up fish finder rig. Nobody came back for it during the day, so it went home with us! On the other side of the beach I found a deer carcass so I showed him where peepaw had some vertebrae fused. We looked at the knee joints and how the ribs protect your vital organs.

There were about 10 boats out and the one next to us was a Regulator 28 with dual 250hp outboards. These things go for about $300,000 as best I can tell which is absolutely insane. Meanwhile mine took maybe $2,000 to build.

It was a pretty brisk day, a little chilly and decent wind. Fortunately the wind was with us on both runs and we made excellent time.

We must have did at least 10 walks during the day and explored every inch of the sandbar. At low tide more of the bar opens up and theres even a small island that appears.

My homemade fisherman anchor really works well. At some point I will write an article about how it works.
