China Poot Dipnetting

Sunday night, May 16, Sheldon, Jordan, and I headed to China Poot at 7:30pm. when the folks got back with the bubble from the Cove. A quiet evening, until we joined the chaos of dipping!
We'd heard great reports of families limiting out in a short time all week long in this year's run, so we hoped we weren't too late.  SO many boats and people there, but many leaving at high tide.  With a limit of 6 reds each, our goal was 18 fish for the trip.  Jordan was fortunate to scoop one out of the lower creek on our way up to the falls!
 There's the falls!  I'd never hiked all the way up to see it before, but I had waders on this time!
 There is a DEEP hole at the base of the falls, but Sheldon scooped a couple reds out with his 5' pole.
 Between the spray from the falls and the LEAN to get as deep as they could, the boys got wet!
 Thankfully, Jordan's soccer Coach Warren was willing to share his 10' pole for a couple scoops!
 That's 18...  Homeward!
 So happy to catch fish in this amazing backyard.
 Back to the harbor by 10pm. Plenty to can and share.  Thank You, Jesus.
