session 6 - somewhere new

We moved to a new bay this weekend, and I felt good about our prospects. Gunnamatta Baths Wharf had telltale signs that it was a prime squidding locale; black ink stains decorated its concrete floor. With plenty of room to spread out, the new spot was tipped to be a winner. We made camp in a heavily inked area and cast out in hopes of picking up dinner.

Next to us, two old women sat with their legs dangling. They has spools of fishing line and a small pile of bait. They cast down sans rod, then waited for a tug. Hand over hand, they pulled the line in. Each time they landed a nipper. Five little fish, one right after another.

Our line though told another story. Nary a tug. Nary a pull. With no calamari in sight, we packed up and went home empty-handed once again.
