Chris, my daughter does like to fish. She doesn't quite have the patience to stick with it yet 'cause she's only 4 but that's to be expected. I take her to the local pond and she catches sunnies... then starts to throw rocks and swim and get crazy. That's alright though.

She also helped reel in and land some schoolies out in the boat one day over the summer (she manned the boga grip), she helped me crank in a monster 3lb. blue over in nantucket, and she caught her own tinker blue (which I have a photo of and will post up).

I'm hoping to get a nicer boat this spring and plan to have her come out with me a bit.

Hopefully it will end up being something we can share forever.

Sandman, I love the island in September. Its so quiet and the weather is usually fantastic... just starting to get that fall feel at night. I usually get up early and cruise the beach, then we all spend the day out on the beach, fish in the evening and take in a great sunset, then snuggle up with the family for a movie when it gets windy and cold outside. Perfect day if you ask me. Its too bad that by the time I'm able to start thinkin' about vacation homes, etc. it will cost $3million for a straw hut by the dump. For now, I'll enjoy the couple times a year I get over there.
