Low Tide Harvest

The tide is at its lowest point, revealing the shallows where the fish run is congregating.

Kevin waded into the shallows and threw the cast net at the fish run, but the net tangled on the throw and caught nothing. Jenny, seated on the dock bench, tracked the fish movement and noted their bunching pattern in her notebook before the rising tide pushed them deeper.

Kevin, look. The run is right there. In the shallows.

Point toward the silver flash of fish in the water.

💭 peek at the thought
Look at them. A silver ribbon in the shallows. I'm starving, but I can't exactly chase them on one good leg.

Seen it. Get the cast net?

Walk to the cottage and retrieve the cast net from the porch.

💭 peek at the thought
Good. Bream or mullet, pushing through the shallows at low tide. Net or line — net's faster if they're thick.

I'll... I'll try to help you spot them from here.

Shift weight carefully to a seated position on the dock bench, clutching the notebook.

💭 peek at the thought
He's moving fast. I can barely stand, let alone help him haul a heavy net full of fish, but God, I need something more than tinned mackerel.

Stay off it. I'll work the edge.

Walk to the water's edge at the end of the dock, cast net coiled in hand, watching the silver flash in the shallows.

💭 peek at the thought
She'll stay put. Ankle's not right for wading. Good — one less thing to watch.

🌿 Jenny04:09

Just... don't let them spook. They're bunching toward the left.

Lean forward, squinting at the water to track the movement of the fish.

💭 peek at the thought
He's being protective. It's annoying, but he's right. If I tear this bandage or slip on the slime, I'm done for.

🔧 Kevin04:10

Right.

Wade in quietly to mid-calf, position upstream of the bunch, wait for the push, then throw the net wide over the left flank.

💭 peek at the thought
Left side. Deeper cut near the old piling. They're herding themselves.
