Finally got my youngest grandson, Anthony, on his first boat trip fishing for stripers and perch, spot, croakers, whatever would bite, yesterday on the bay. He was joined my my oldest GS, Zak, who has done this many times with me. My long time fishing/hunting buddy lives in Rock Hall on the upper end of the Chesapeake Bay and captains his 40' Robbins fishing boat and just loves to take young kids fishing. We started off catching about 100 spot to use for live lining bait. Check out the 32" and 25" stripers and the smile on Anthony's face. After we were finished fishing Anthony piloted us back to the dock then both of the GS's promptly fell asleep on the ride home. Great day aboard the "Miss Flirt".

If someone could tell me how to rotate those first two photos I'd appreciate it.

That last picture of Anthony driving the boat is a real keeper! Handsome lad - he must take after his grandfather in that respect.

Another photo taken as we were leaving the dock. The early morning sun is perfect and to me really captured the essence of the day.

Here are a couple more of the Ant, as I call him, bass fishing a favorite farm pond with a couple of nice bluegills and a couple decent bass caught by this seven year old fishing addict.

Daryl, make sure you use some of that striper meat for fish tacos!! They make them at Ford's in Rock Hall (you know the place) and they are fabulous!! Only thing I've had at least as good is fish tacos made with fresh cod (Quebec). Either one beats the feces out of Tilapia - yuck!

That's awesome Daryl. You just created memories for a life time the boys will never forget.
I still cherish the memories of fishing with my grandpap.

Spent time in the Rock Hall marina about 60 years ago. The owner of the marina was Les Mayne, if my failing memory is correct
