Stripers and grandsons
 

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.

Wow! Big day with the Grandsons! Great pics! I hope you have a wonderful meal with those Striper steaks!

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

Rotated them. Looks like a fun day.

Thanks Dean, that picture of him piloting the boat has become my new screen saver.

Thanks Patrick, how do you do that?

And wearing grandpops Tilley hat! Looking good!

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.

Absolutely the gift that keeps on giving!!! Way to go, Grandpop!!

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.

Good going, enjoying those boys and getting them outside.

man what lucky kids these are.....you got to have bragging rights on these fisherman....charlie

Great pictures and lots of smiles! Thanks for sharing Daryl.

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

Dayrl, Thats what memories are made of, lucky man to be able to be close to grand children, when you get married and have kids, it reshape your life, and again with grandkids, gary

Way to Go Grandpa!

Nice ! I'm having a lousy day today, but seeing those pictures put a huge smile on my face.

Thanks !!!!
