I have to say there were a couple of highlights that were memorable for me this year. The foremost was taking my oldest son out for a sunset trip to the Elizabeth's when he caught a beauty of a bass at 37#. The smile on his face is something I will ALWAYS remember. He took the helm of the tintanic all the way back to Falmouth and then put the boat on the spot after I backed in the trailer at the ramp. The other highlight was taking advantage of a forecast which enabled my brother and I to take the tinny across CC bay to fish for bluefin. We left the east end of the canal at sunrise and made the run in about 45 minutes, it was flat as a pancake as predicted. We saw many breaking fish and hit them on the head to no avail. I called Keeprreaper and asked for advice on how to elicit a strike. After some wireless coaching I hooked up and fought a fish to the boat in 45 minutes.A swing and miss on the gaff combined with a straightened RonZ hook enabled the tuna to see another sunrise and ALL parties left happy. Nothing compares to time spent with family and friends on the water. These are the memories that not only get me through the winter but will also be cherished for a lifetime.
