Fishing Trip #3 Charter Videos

Fishing Trip #3 Charter

Gabbie and I joined Wayne, his kids, and his dad on a fishing trip today. We brought in two small tunas and one big dolphin fish. Finally, some action!

Maison des Esclaves

Built in 1786, this housed both slaves and slave owners. The top section for the owners and the bottom dungeon for slaves. There was a section for adult males, adult females, teens, and children. When I walked in to where the children were kept (pictured) I got the chills.

Goree Island

Today Gabbie, Stacey and I took the SS Beer (no joke) to Goree Island today. It was about a thirty minute ferry boat ride from Dakar. The colonial architecture was cool to see and the island had somewhat of a peaceful vibe. The island was a trading post where slaves along with other things were shipped across the Atlantic.

Diving in Senegal

This is more of Gabbie's thing, diving in Senegal. I have participated once, before Halloween, we carved pumpkins underwater. Gabs went on a ship wreck dive and that's where the pic.s of the eel and Butterfly fish come from.

Here Fishy Fishy

Attempt #2 with the fly rod and no success. A guy near me was pulling 'em in. He had a spinner ans was using shrimp. I had a shrimp pattern on? Maybe it was the wind, maybe it was where I was standing? Next week I am taking a charter and hopefully will catch some fish. For now, It's the market. I haven't given up and next time I am going out early.

Fishing

My fly fishing gear has arrived and I went out last weekend with my boss Wayne. We didn't catch anything, but it was nice being out near the water anyway. I guess December is a good Month for sea bass. I have recently discovered a good spot right behind my house. Check out this video sent by Wayne:

The drive is the the house next door to mine and the fishing spot is where I walk Buddy. The fish will one day be mine!
