The great days of fishing are dwindling down as the sea bass are getting ready to return soon. So I took advantage and did some extra ocean fishing tonight.

As you could see in that picture, Gulliver was washed up on the beach. So I talked to him. Today’s glowing spot was right above him, so it almost looked as if he had a halo.

Gulliver gave me a shogi piece. That’s an item that I had completely forgotten about, since it’s not in City Folk. And I hadn’t seen it on GameCube in years, probably.

Nook’s store closed at 10:00, but I still did enough fishing to fill up my pockets before I ended my game for the night.

After stopping at Nook’s to sell some things, I walked past Maple’s house. Maple was sleeping outside, as always. But the odd thing was that Static was creeping around outside her house. I’m not sure what he was up to.

I went to the ocean to do some fishing. I caught a number of red snappers and barred knifejaws. In total, I earned about 50,000 bells.

When I went over by the wishing well, I saw Hank and I talked to him. He said he just found a froggy chair and he asked if it was mine. I told him no, and he told me he was just testing my honesty. He then gave me the chair.

I passed by the train station and saw K.K. so I took a little break to let him perform a song for me. I told him to pick a random song and he went with K.K. Etude.

I then went into my house to try to decide how I want my main floor to look. I decided I needed more items, so I went to Nook’s to order them. I started to run back home. I suddenly saw a huge shadow in the river, but it was too late. My running had scared it away.

I started up the game around 5:15 p.m., which means I got to hear the 5 p.m. music…one of my favorites. I went to Nook’s to sell my fish from last night. I also saw they had a taiko drum on sale. It just reminded me of the Taiko Drum Master games. And it made me sad, because they keep announcing all these Taiko Drum Master games for Wii in Japan, and they never got released in America.

I talked to Puck and he asked me if I have a Game Boy Advance. I told him yes, and he talked about connecting the Game Boy Advance to the GameCube to visit the island. He said he wants to ride the boat and let his fingers dangle in the water. But Puck…you don’t have fingers.

I talked to Static, and he told me had a cherry. He then tried to sell it to me for 2,720 bells. No thanks. Even though it’s a foreign fruit, I already have cherry trees planted in Forest. If I didn’t have one already, that would be different. But since I didn’t need it, I declined his “generous” offer.

I then did some fishing in the sea bass-free ocean. I was having a better barred knifejaw-to-red snapper ratio than I did yesterday. Barred knifejaws sell for 5,000 bells, while red snappers only sell for 3,000 bells.

I then decided to clear some clutter in my house by taking some things to the island. I think this may have been my first visit to the island in over a year!

After that brief chat with Ankha, I put those items into my island house. My room there is a horribly cluttered mess of jingle items, beach/island items, igloo items, gyroids, and other miscellaneous crap.

I returned to the mainland and did some more fishing until I had over 200,000 bells to deposit into my bank account.
