I waited for seven years for my grand daughter to get old enough to join me on the saltwater. She already can trout fish. So I brought her along for a half day fluke trip.
She was quite the sport. She caught sea robins, a skate, two ling cod, two sea bass and two undersize fluke. The seas were a little rough but it didn't bother her. Thank God.
Found out it's not easy fishing with children. Their attention span isn't quite all about fishing. Petting other peoples fish, releasing fish, feeding the gulls and terns, playing with the bait, tieing their own sneakers twenty times and asking a million questions. I now have a deep pity for the parents who don't know how to fish.
I say Caitlyn was a solid 9 her first time out with grandpa.
Oh, She left me alone long enough to catch the 4.5 lb. pool fish.
Thank you Frank the Mate for your time with her teaching and showing her all the different types of fish. And helping her to fish. She's all cranked up for another trip.
