Had the pleasure of going out with my old man and 2 boys. Started the day with the safety lecture, life jackets, you know how to swim, stay clam and a plan if something happens...."Dad, you know that nothing will happen so let's go fishing."
We netted some peanut bunker and off to the fluke grounds of The Reach Channel. Slack tide so nothing for the first 30 minutes. Explained to the boys that it will get better and it did. My old man bucktails a 4 pound fluke followed by numerous shorts and quality fish mixed in. Finished the day with 8 keepers to 7 lb and memories that will last a lifetime. Around 1 PM the wind started and we called it a day.
My buddy cleaned the fish as me and my boys cleaned the boat. Last thing to clean was the cooler that the fish were in. As the boys were walking it down to the boat...wooooops Keefe Jr. goes in the water. Good thing we had the talk :cool: because the only thing he kept saying as he was in the water was, "I don't want to loose my flipflops."
Great day on the water with memories of a lifetime. Not sure if we are crabbing or fishing tomorrow.
