Summary:
Let's call this shibi vibes part1. In truth, this is a weekend long segment of a 2 day fishing series. Can you believe it? The wife let me out 2 days in a row (albeit short sessions)!!! This was the start of a 3 shibi, 2 uku, and other fish and misadventures. This was the first attempt at using the CanFish Cam and somehow the wildlife already managed to damage it, haha. Pesky Sharks!!!! I hope you enjoy!
