Something Different
 

Fished Sandwich Mass last week with my almost 5 year old son and uncle-in- law and had a blast!
Had it to ourselves thanks to the hook up from Sturgis Boat works the Hobie made getting to the hard to reach places during the tidal swings a breeze….

We caught loads of stripers using sea worms and light tackle.

The best part was seeing my little guy go solo, cast, set and reel. He was on fire.

He also landed this nice little fluke or as he liked to call it a “flute”

And the money shot, a nod to Pruitt. I think he’s ready for LJ<O:p></O:p>

Good times....

awsome!:luxhello:

Now all that looked like a blast

East Coast striper, the best, when you get the bigger models, some nice eats right there, the tidal swing daily, out there, compares only to the tidal swing here when there is a tsunami....I fished there for a 3 month period and had a
"blast" on small chrome diamond jig heads with a 3 inch brown/silver plastic eel
or slugo type plastic, amazingly if you throw some west coast stuff at them
like Hammer, they go nuts...thanks for sharin...:reel:

Great post.


Every fish a little kid catches feels like you just got a whooper!:D:D:D

Congrats to junior for a job well done.:luxhello:

Now get him out to LJ already......

Josh that's awesome! The smile on your boy's face is priceless. I bet he was having the time of his life.

We just got back from Maine where we had the most insane striper fishing ever! It was WFO, I had 25+ in the 33-42" range, they were boiling up and down the beach and in true west coast style, I was fishing the iron on conventional gear. The looks I got from the hard core, set in their ways striper guys were hilarious, until they realized I was out fishing them 5 to 1. Anyway, my boy was so stoked to see these fish coming up on the sand, I can't wait 'til he's old enough to pull one in on his own.

We need to get out and catch some fish soon. Hope all is well.

Excellent
Digging the money shot:cheers1:

Your little guy is sure growing up fast. I have not seen him since Tsunami day in Kauai last year. From the looks of things, you are giving him excellent training.

Nice post Josh! hopping to see you soon pana..!:)

Glad you caught some fish, it will be a good memory.

Great memories right there....

Wow Josh!!! What a way to spend time with your son :luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:

Yeah Darren! Glad you got some, and your little guy is just around the corner from landing those.... Was it lobster mania for you? Saw they were selling for $4 a lb dockside up there.

Id love to fish w ya. Im do for a trip in the next week or so...

Or as he called it, the "too-sami", I wish I was back there now. Id also like to slow down time he's growing up so fast

Leo my good luck charm! I need to pay you a visit

Thanks E. It was awesome tons of places to fish around there and tuna within peddle distance. Wasnt ready to do it though with out a wingman as those waters are loaded with Whiteys, this happened a few miles from where we were :doh:....http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/grea...yaker-16738896. A while back the outer bank broke and the seals moved in, and you know what followed suit...

Hey on the pic of the first striper, What are the tan bumps all over its fins and head?

:you_rock::cheers1:
great trip!

that day will never be for gotten.:reeling:

Good job!I know the feeling when you sit back and watch your kids catching their own fish and so stoked about it too.Just Imagine,some day he will be taking YOU fishing,..

Great post! Brought back a lot of good memories for me and my kids. We lived in South MA for three years and used to fish the Canal, Sandwich and Scusset Beach all the time when my kids were about the same age. The back yard money shot is classic!

Very cool, thanks for sharing! :cheers1:
