Welcome to S-B, plenty here to read up on. Once the kids get started there's no stopping it...trust me.

Welcome to the site! Some guy Tysdad115 may be able to hook you up with stickers. I heard he has a bunch of them.:devil2:

Sent out my last few a few weeks ago..or I would have offered to send them out.

no problem thanx anyway

going out today for our first saltwater trip. boys want to go for tautog so heading out this mid-am.ill do alittle striper fishing too while there.mike at cct gave us our info/advice so we should be set for an afternoon of fun. let you know later how day went. k

nothing first day down at shell point in onset so went to mass maritime the next day, thought we had some (crabs half eaten) didnt know to set hook hard or just start reeling in.saw few seals in canal.boys had fun and yup they are hooked on saltwater fishing now.after awhile they decided to hunt crabs under rocks and said want to go again soon.

Glad to have you here.... Don't be afraid to ask questions and learn, be patient and humble and the big fish will show,,,, Well that is unless your Tysdad then you have to stand by and watch your son catch fish,,,,:devil2:

I'll give it to you, you certainly put your time in last year. Even times that you should have called it a day.....

I remember one morning in the pouring rain with thunder and lightning all around , in waist deep water with 11' rods, waiting for the other to flinch. :biglaugh: Not doing that again.

But at least afer the 6 mile bike ride, the rain stopped and sun came out bright...
and to Kvn4 -just a heads up-if its 2AM and the kids are cold and tired because theres no fish around- It IS ok to have them sleep on the bench while you and your friends fish...it might take you out of "father of the year " contention but it all works out in the end...by the way how old are your kids? My boy is 11 and he's pretty good teaching younger kids , but he's got a bit of an ego issue from going large all the time....we would be happy to try and help out.

they are 12yr old twins.they are waiting for the fluke to start for now. like i said were all new to saltwater.when its warmer.
