My Dad
 

My Dad had colon cancer last Christmas he was operated on and pulled thru with no problems. thank god! well after recovery and he got back to work. I took him fishing for his Birthday to Plum Island in September when the stripers were blitzing the beach. I chased blitzes all day and he also did until he was just to tired so he sat by the truck and fished with sea worms.
I caught over 70 fish that day and my Dad caught 45 what a day, A day I will never forget

:)

It Doesn,t get any better ===ENJOY :uhuh:

What a great day that must have been Tattoobob....and thanks for sharing tha happy story! :kewl:

Awesome day
 

Tat, very lucky guy to have experienced that day with your dad.

Niiiiiice !!! :buds:

Thanks for the story and the fish pics. Sounds like a great day you had with your dad. My Dad just gives me a hard time on all the tackle/plugs I have, and the odd hours that I get up for fishing

Bob,

Those are great pictures - looks like a great time you guys shared. Catching that many fish must have been the icing on the cake.

I took my Dad out after he had his 2nd heart attack. My problem was that I took him out fly fishing. He didn't really take to it and my teaching ability was sub-par. It has been about 7 years since we did that, but I am hoping to take him surf fishing next season. We have talked about it and he seemed excited to do it again - as long as it was not fly fishing. He has even has picked up an older lami surf rod to use.

As I get older and have a kid of my own I have begun to appreciate my Dad more and more and look forward to sharing these type of things with him.

Hope you have MANY more trips with your dad like that one!!!

Thanks guys, This year was one of the best fishing wise at PI with tons of big fish and millions of sub keeper sized. My dad is back to his old self. and the VA is taking great care of him.

good for you man! Cherish these times.

YOUR lucky bob
