As one of Gavin’s cub scout pack activities we went deep sea fishing.  Gavin had never been fishing and I had never been fishing off a boat so it was an adventure for both of us.  We left Newport Harbor at 8am and traveled for about an hour and a half to the fishing area, which was off Long Beach.  On the trip out there we saw a single whale and a pod of three whales swim by.  We passed two seals who were sleeping on their backs with all their flippers up in the air.  We also saw several dolphins.  While we were fishing we had two large pods of dolphins swim by.  Both stopped about 200 yards from us to do their own fishing.  For about an hour we had 40ish dolphins swimming and jumping around.

Gavin caught about 20 fish.  I didn’t catch any as the boat was a little crowded and I quickly figured out I needed to just help Gavin fish.  He needed help reeling the fish in anyway — we were pulling the fish up from about 150 feet which was a bit of work.

Once we got home we had some of his fish for dinner.  Most of them ended up in the freezer for another day.
