Dropped four crab pots with old chicken from the freezer as bait. Plenty of bait for each pot. Dropped them off of President Point in 50 to 100 feet of water. Took about 30 to 40 minutes to get the pots ready, bait them, untangle the lines and toss them overboard.

Robert caught two "shakers." Even though we had to toss them back because they are too small, Rob was very excited. He was jumping up and down every time a current tugged on his pole. Dick was hustling just to keep Thomas and Robert baited and in the water. Dick snagged a flounder which we also tossed back.

Rained as we cruised back to the dock. Tom and Rob went in the cabin and left the adults to stand in the rain.

Maintenance Issues:

Lights on most new gauges do not work.

Need two more fishing pole holders.

Trailer will be ready tomorrow. Still need to balance wheels and weight.
