Awesome trip on Jamaica 2 today
After being blown out last Sunday due to Irene, planned a trip this weekend while we were down at the camper for the holiday. What made this trip so awesome wasn't the fish I caught but the fact that this was my first ocean trip with my oldest daughter Gianna. She finally asked to go with me and I couldn't wait, Mate Jimmy paid extra attention to help her with keeping on the bottom, keeping lines free and helping her bait the hook. What a genuine memorable and cherished moment I had when my daughter reeled up her first fish a shorty fluke. Then smile on her face and her outburst were priceless. She went on to catch two more and a sea robin (Can't upload the awesome pictures on my mini laptop for some reason) This is a day I'll never forget much like my first fishing adventure as a child

Re: Awesome trip on Jamaica 2 today
Great post !! and yes the boat and the crew are always accommodating “ top shelf” in my book ,Those memories are priceless……. good for you proud papa Mike i am so happy for you
I also took my son this year on his first fishing trip aboard the J2 and I will never forget that day either See post below the Capt. put up a few pics http://www.njfishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34951 Also if anyone is interested id like to share a little story that goes along with that day. Btw Mike I didn’t mean to hijack your post but thought was appropriate to share with you in the joy of the moment “ Fathers day gift early on the J2.” On Friday June 3rd I took my special needs child on his first fishing trip aboard the J2. Papa is so proud.... Something we talked about and prayed about every night for the last 7 years. Priceless..... My Kiddo did great!!! . My son Joel caught 2 keeper fluke and won the hearts of everyone on the boat. What a great day, I am so blessed. Joel caught his first keeper within a few minutes of the first drop as it kept him at the rail interested in getting more bites the remainder of the trip. Before the end of the last drift he landed his second keeper fluke. Fish on !!!!! Words can not do justice in seeing my son reel in his second fatty. While reeling in this fish as the was mate ready with the net he said, “This is my best Friday ever”. Thank you again Capt. Ryan, Mates Kenny, and Red for such a great day fishing aboard the J2.

Re: Awesome trip on Jamaica 2 today
No worries Kenny, these are cherished moments. I had coached Gianna on how to do many things and patience in between fish. She too would not move from the rail with anticipation of the next fish. I told her what to do if she had a "big" fish on. Her second fish? she started yelliing net, net, net! To which Jimmy came running to us prepared....I'm still laughing as did the entire bow when it happened........

Re: Awesome trip on Jamaica 2 today
Mike; Congrats to you and Gianna. Great report and I know how proud you must be. Now that you have her hooked on fishing maybe we will see both of you on board in the near future.
