Isaac wanted more than just get his line wet this year, so I stopped at the local bait store. Luckily the kid behind the counter had fished the Key Colony Beach canals before and hooked us up for $5.
The trick: Fresh shrimp (i.e. living or recently living due to sectioning) and no bobber.
The result: Stella caught the first pin-fish (kind of a saltwater bluegill) within 3 minutes. We ended with [2] each - Stella, Isaac, Daddy.
Later that day when I retrieved one for fillet/grilling, there were only [4]. As I was grilling a sample of our catch and had not yet cleaned up, Stella cried out, "Daddy, the pelican stole a fish from the stringer". Mystery solved...
