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. |

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? |

Does he have a girlfriend? It's Friday night, after all. He does. The one who got us pulled over by the CG last year for exhibitionism. But, she's got a family thing going on tonight. |

He had a great saying that would apply he "The only people who have any business fishing are young boys and married men. Everyone else should be out getting laid." |

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?" |

Some idiot in a Century must have seen him fighting the fish, because he tried anchoring up current about 50 feet from me. Dumbass. Glad to hear your boy is ok - those kind of things are scary. 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. |
Harry,
That is not nice, I thought it had been Kraused to death. Speaking of Krause, I ate a burrito for lunch and I have been Krausing about every 15 min. "HarryKrause" wrote in message ...

The latest iteration is "Jack Smith." Caveat emptor. I'm going to try to get out fishing on Sunday. |

His second question was "I didn't dent your boat, did I?" Wow. Glad your kid is ok. Thanks. I'm jealous of your catch, though. There wasn't much to my "catch". The snapper, although keeper size, were right at 10". The spanish macks are fun to catch on light tackle, but they're a nuisance when you're fishing with light fluorocarbon leader since they break off more than half of the jigs that they hit. The gags were all 12-16 inches...but they need to be 22" to keep. Most of the big ones move off the nearshore reefs in the summer and head to deeper water. We had One interesting thing happened. My son caught a mack and it jumped clear of the water on the strike and hit me square in the chest to the left of my left nipple. It left what looks like a big hickey. If I didn't have the kids with me, my wife would have been curious as to why I came back with a hickey and smelling like fish. ;-) |

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? |

And guess what? It didn't hold again. Big surprise. They were definitely what we call "googans". |

We anchored up in about 20' of water on the edge of the channel and used small orange flatfish on a 4' leader above a 2-3' dropper with 1-2oz. weight. The current does the work while we nap, read, eat, listen to music, etc... Every now and then a rod bounces and the reel screams. By late afternoon when the tide came up and the current died we had released 2 nice 25-28" natives and kept 1 small 22" hatchery fish. -rick- |
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?

Yes, good to hear the boy's ok. Something similar happened out of the
GG a couple weeks ago. Here's an edited fishing report. Here is a story we'd like to share about 6 year old Hunter "Stitch" Jury as posted on our forums by member "BLAIR". Here is an edited version of their adventure fishing at Dux for salmon.... Their day started off great as they got an early start. They launched at 5.45 and were in line for Bait at 6am. They got to the golden gate and BLAIRS buddys' 6 year old son took a spill, cracking his head open. Needing stitches, they turned the boat around and had the boat back on the trailer by 8am and were at the hospital at 8:30am. After waiting and receiving 5 stitches they were done at 10:30am at the hospital. The funny part is that "Stitch" tells the doctor halfway through the stitching process that he would appreciate her hurrying up, as he needed to get back out to go fishing!!! He needed his 1st salmon and a few stitches weren't going to stop him!! The doctor cleared the idea with father Jeff Jury after she picked her jaws off the floor and stopped laughing. Blair had no choice but to take the boy out and that they did. The weekend prior "Stitch" had lost a BIG salmon on the downrigger cable and was seeking his redemption so back out they went. Back fishing around noon ten minutes into the fishing, the 1st rod goes off! "Stitch" takes helm of the rod and reel and lands his 1st keeper salmon! Congrats Hunter on a job well done. Your family and friends should be proud. You're off to a great start at being a True Fisherman! Priceless picture of 'Stitch' he http://www.anglernet.net -phish |

That was a nice story, Nobs. I haven't been out in about three weeks. We've doing the annual Children of Chernobyl thing again this year, and it seems like there's something planned for every day. I *am* taking three of the Belarussians out on Monday for some bottom fishing. Hope to load up on perch and have a fish fry before we take them to a baseball game Monday night. Will give a report Tuesday! -- John H. On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD |
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?" Glad he (and the boat) is OK. I still think if we shoot a few of the rude Bast---ds the word would get around pretty quick. We often fish a cut and it's amazing how many boats seem to want to see how close they can get to you when they run through. Another annoyance is how many people never consider their wake - most boats at full plane don't kick up much of a wake but a lot of skippers seem to think that if they slow down when they pass they are doing you a favor when actually their plane/wallow is kicking up a much larger wake. |

Give those skippers a break. It's hard to turn your head and check your own wake when you're trying to look stiff & macho. |

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. I can remember my son hiding on me at the yacht club. 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. |
