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.

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

Thanks Patrick, how do you do that?

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!
