Having a blast on some vacation time getting into the summer bite. Yesterday was a great day for me on ReelClass as I love to bottom fish and the mixed bag looked great in the pan last night. My co-workers who know nothing about fishing now can't wait to get the Ling filets as they love eating it every couple
Weeks.
Back to the point...for a couple years I've been taking my daughter surf/pier/river fishing and now that she turned 8 I wanted to step
It up a bit and bring her out front. I was waiting for two things...cocktail blues and light winds. Well today was the day for us to get out and the Cock Robin did not let me down.
They fished in the small fleet with everyone else as there are PLENTY of fish for all the boats. The piece of the trip that got me was how helpful the crew were to everyone on board. Not only that but the "regulars" are awesome anglers and good people. As my daughter and I were first getting started a regular
In the corner handed off his rod twice as he hooked up. We both guided her as she fought the fish and put smiles on the faces when she landed her first blue. Shortly thereafter she was baiting, hooking, and fighting Mack's and blooos till I
Had to swing them over the rail.
During a lul in the fishing captain brought her upstairs which she loved...he also played a trick on her later in the day which she is still talking about. Mates Bill and Doug are top notch professionals. They run the deck like
They own a piece of the business. Respectful, skilled, funny, and most important making everyone feel at home. These mates deserve awesome tips as it is not an easy job. If you go as a family remember to tip
For the kids as well.
If you are contemplating on taking a son, daughter, niece, nephew, or grandma/grandpa this is the time to do it.
Thank you Captain Jim, Bill, and Doug for a day on the water that my daughter and I will always remember. Oh and if you go try Hoffmans ice cream after... DAMN!
