在8月 7 日，星期四，我和我朋友的爷爷去钓鱼和螃蟹了。我钓到了5条
鱼：4
条Buffalo
Sculpin（也叫bullhead)
和一条比目鱼。我朋友的爷爷钓到了6只螃蟹，所有的螃蟹都是红石蟹，因为那个地方的太平洋蟹太小。
比目鱼是一种爬在海底、两个眼睛长在一边和有个大白肚皮的鱼。Buffalo
Sculpin有像公牛的尖角。红石蟹是红色的。如果有人想要留下抓到的红石蟹，它的背壳必须是5
英寸或更长，不分公母。太平洋蟹是黑灰色的壳与紫色的腿。钓这种螃蟹的规则是背壳要有6
½
英寸或更长，母蟹不允许带走，必须放回大海。
辨别公母的螃蟹的方法是，在白色的一面上，看下腹部。如果是瘦和尖的腹部，它是一个公的。如果是宽和圆的腹部，这个螃蟹是一个母的。
那一天，有另一个家人在钓鱼。他们有两个孩子，名字叫Luke和Robert。当我钓到了那条比目鱼的时候，那两个小孩也很想钓一条。
14 岁以下的小孩可以不买鱼证，在任何允许钓鱼的地方钓鱼。所以孩子们可以免费钓任何鱼。
钓鱼是一个非常有趣的活动，需要耐心。如果你着急的话，鱼会害怕，它们就不会吃鱼饵了。
我认为钓鱼是很好玩的活动。
On Thursday, August
7th, I went fishing and crabbing with my friend’s grandpa. I caught
5 fish, 4 Buffalo Sculpin (also known as a bullhead) and a flounder. My
friend’s grandpa caught 6 crabs, the crabs were all “Red Rock”, because the
Dungeness crabs at that place are too small.
Flounders are fish
that lay on the sea floor, has both of its eyes on one side, and a big white
belly. Buffalo Sculpin have sharp horns like bulls’. Red rock crabs are red. If
someone wants to keep a Red Rock crab, it has to meet this requirement, size of
5 or more inches across the shell, but it doesn’t matter if it is male or
female. Dungeness crabs are blackish-gray with purple legs. The rule for
catching this species of crab needs a size limit of 6 and ½ inches or more across
the shell, and females are not allowed to be caught and must be put back to the
ocean.
To see the
difference of a male or female crab, look on the white side and see how the
abdomen is shaped. If it is skinny and pointed, it is a male. If it’s wide and
round, it means it is a female.
When I went that
day, there was another family fishing. There were 2 kids in that family named
Luke and Robert. When I caught the flounder, those two kids really wanted to
catch one.
Without a license,
kids under 14 years of age can fish anywhere that allows fishing. So kids can
fish for any fish for free.
Fishing is a really
fun sport that includes patience. If you rush it, fish would get scared and
they would not bite.
I think fishing is
a nice thing to do.
