Memorable moment and a schoolie-- In the middle of the summer I took the family to Watch Hill for some shopping and some beach. At about 3:30, I was getting bored at the beach watching 500 people lying around. So I went back to the car to get a rod to practice retreiving my then new custom super strike bullet in the bunker pattern I got from Joe Lyons. I go about 30 yards from the crowd of swimmers and on the third cast I catch a schoolie. Well you would have thought I caught a sea monster.
My kids and around 50 other kids come running over like a stampede and want to look at the schoolie. Then my wife actually comes over and sees that I do in fact have the ability to catch a striper- which she had some doubt. Well it was my 5 minutes of fame during a hot afternoon at a crowded beach until I let him swim away. It was a happy family moment.
