DP 09-15

Got a late start, took my grandson for his first open water fishing excursion on the back of my PA14, my son-in-law on the Outback. Water was fairly clear and nice, almost flat, swells small, light wind blowing offshore most of the day.

MY grandson was kind of bored and didn't really get into fishing until he got his first fish a nice halibut. I am pretty proud of him, he fought it himself and followed my instruction very well. After that he was glued to his fishing rod checking out every little tap on his line. I think he is addicted now. And my son-in-law is also, he landed a three foot leopard, whcih we released, and a 16 inch sandie.

I was so jazzed they had fun and enjoyed the trip, and most of all, want to go again.

Kicking butt Dave!

Way to get the little guy hooked.


When you are too old to unload your own yak and can't see enough to tie your own hook he will be the one you can count on to take you fishing.

Thanks all, I am just a little proud of him for managing to get it to gaff on his own. His dad is also hooked, went and bought a years license... It's sooo cool.
