One of my G/s,s doesn,t really care about saltwater water fishing ……..But tell him we are going after green crabs & he,ll do it it all .
My daughter [ no kid ] still wants to hand dig shellfish .
My son had the best of experience with commercial & rec >> salt & fresh fishing …..along with being a damn good shellfisherman …………He quit to wash windows ……..dumb 1/2 breed
I,ve had my Sea Hunt since 2003 & he,s only been in it once ??????????? . But he lives in Charlestown & catches the sunrises & sunset & lets me know about the weather/ bait & anything else he things I could use .

Thanks, that is a deep compliment. My oldest has 2 younger brothers, they love the beach, and like to catch fish when it's convenient, but neither has any interest in sacrificing sleep or waiting for bites. My oldest really appears to have a profound affinity for all things related to interacting with the water.
I think it's nothing short of a miracle to live near the ocean, and to have, as you put it, such a vast number of different ways to interact with the ocean and the ecosystems we have been blessed with. Right now, I think he likes lobstering more than fishing. Not many 11 year olds know how to work a string of traps, but he does.
Here's his big fish, he's very proud...what a perfect specimen, fat, healthy, fins extended, not a drop of blood on her, she was released to get bigger.
