The Second Day

    On the second day we went on our first trawl.  We were practicing our "trawling skills". The purpose of trawling is to catch things like shrimp and fish.  A fisherman will pull a net for about 45 minutes to two hours, but we only trawled for about 2 minutes in our experiment.  We trawled for only two minutes because we were only trying to get a sample of the area and not a real catch.
