My son doesn't want to go fishing tonight and I do. Do I duct tape him into a bundle and just throw him in the boat? He's 16. Big bundle. |

He just didn't want to go sailing on my 17' Siren and would hide behind the dumpster, telephone poles, boats on their cradles. cars etc. Just got to be too time consuming chasing around looking for him each time. It may have been because he chipped his new front teeth of the keel trunk one day when a gust of wind pushed us over. |

I've been doing quite well in sweet water and as to salt, my Contender is pulling in some decent bucks on the different NE tournament trails. I've fished it a few times and my fishing partner has run more than I have - we're both doing well in that sense. How about you? |

My 5 year old son and I plan to see how many fish we can scare away from our
hooks tomorrow. Report at 11.... --Mike "Shortwave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... On Fri, 5 Aug 2005 16:35:23 -0400, "SoFarrell" wrote: Anyone discussing this?

Netted up some white bait off Barefoot Beach and headed out to a nearshore reef out about 3 miles. My older son and I caught a few keeper snapper, a couple of spanish macks, and several undersized gag grouper. We then decided to move back inshore to fish the pass for a snook. The current was ripping through there at about 5-6 knots, and it was hard to hold position. I kept the boat in slow forward postion while my 5 1/2 son was casting a shiner out. He got a big hit that pulled some drag but then broke him off. Some idiot in a Century must have seen him fighting the fish, because he tried anchoring up current about 50 feet from me. Dumbass. There was no way an anchor would have held in that current. He of course broke loose and came difting at me. In an attempt to keep him from slamming into me, I cut the wheel to port and slowly moved forward just as 12 PWC's came shooting through the pass rocking me side to side. I got on the throttle too hard and sent my son stumbling backward, until he fell and hit the back of his head on the steering mechanism on the outboard. This of course scared the **** out of me. I iced his head and had my wife meet me at one of the boat ramps nearby. She picked him up and took him to the ER, since the knot on the back of his head grew to the size of a small orange. The doc ordered a CT scan as a precaution, and it thankfully came back negative. I met them at the hospital, and my son's first words were "when I get better, can we go back out fishing again?" His second question was "I didn't dent your boat, did I?" |

I've had similar experiences, but the best one was fishing Lord's Passage on the Westerly Reef off the Westerly USCG station. I was fishing East of the reef and on the other side of the channel - the reef was between me and the channel. I latched onto a really nice mahi and some clown in a big Whaler rigged for offshore, cut out of the channel headed towards me just as a wave lifted off the reef. He went up, went down and stayed down hitting the reef so hard, his hull caught up on the rocks. A minute or so later, all you saw was three guys sitting on the T-top rocking back and forth as the boat was swamped and bouncing up and down on the reef. I took pity on them and got them off the T-top by using a rescue bag and throwing over life preservers - I wasn't about to try and get next to them. They wanted to get rescued, they were gonna have to swim - with a little assistance. Dumbasses. |

What wonderful things our kids say even when they are the victims of incidents they have no control over. Damn the folks who don't know or respect the rules of the road. Obviously they could have caused substantial injuries if you did not react properly. Did they come back to see if everything was OK? |
