Third Day
       On the third day we went trawling "for real" in sleepy creek.  Sleepy Creek is a closed area to trawl in at the time, but we had special permission to trawl there as long as we threw our catch back after we recorded it.  This day we caught pinfish, shrimp, silversides, squid, hogfish, spot, perch, file fish, tongue fish, lookdown, and some crabs.  We think the fact that this site was closed affected the amount of life in the water.
