One more cast *video*

Matt and I both had a busy day ahead of us today. . . So we figured, no better way then to start it off on the right foot.  We fished from 0530 until about 10am and we caught them the whole time.  We just couldn’t stop fishing because we were having so much fun!  We brought along the video camera to grab some clips, and I threw together a little edit. As you can see, we love to catch and release these fish, and we typcially just keep the ones that we think will have a low chance of survival. Enjoy!

Mid Day Doldrums

I fished with my friend, musician, and darn good angler Ed Tupper.  We fished mid day, during a blue bird sunny day.  This is not typically when I like to fish.  We made the best of it and found some trout.  I also managed to catch the worlds smallest flounder.  We couldn’t pass up the nice weather and an opportunity to slide out for a couple hours.  Here is a shot of the dinky flounder, and a pic of Ed after a good morning of trout fishing about a month ago (we didn’t take any photos of his trout during this session so I stole an old shot.)

Proud Daddy

I took my 3 year old daughter out about a week ago on one of those sunny beautiful afternoons.   It was her first time on the boat and she loved it! I got her a barbie fishing pole for her birthday, and she was having a great time practicing her cast with the toy fish.  I managed to hook a pretty decent trout, and of course I had to hand off the rod.  She fought it all the way in, and even held it with the boga grip.  Here is Hazel with her first trout!

Few and far between

Spent this gloomy, rainy, stormy Saturday morning with my father who was down from Virginia Beach. The days spent fishing with my “Pops” have become way too far apart. We fished for an hour at the crack of light before the lightning had other plans for us. We both had bacon and eggs on our mind so we decided to head to Jolly Rodgers to ride out the storm. We went back out and managed a few trout and a puppy drum. The bite was slow, and I would of liked to put my Dad on a few more fish, but hey, thats fishin’
