our vinyard trip
we went over for a few days this week w/ the boys. dominic did pretty well fishing. there was a little estuary off the lagoon where we stayed. he woke me up each morning at daybreak - i could hear him whispering in the other room - "daddy - are you awake, we need to go get the crabs." had a great time

Thats cool. Becoming a wharf rat, one who has fished and caught fish from the Edgartown wharf, is very important on the island. Some of the Vineyards moist famous resident fishermen, get their Joneses on that wharf when all else fails.

Consider getting an 8-10 ft seine net and attach it to a bamboo pole on each end (or you can tie loops to put around a wrist and an ankle). Take your kid to an estuary/beach and work it along together in 1.5-3 feet of water. Walk about 15 yards then sweep up onto the beach. Way cool fun.

numby - when we were there i was thinking next time bring a seine. we put out a minnow trap a few times and caught hundreds of litle fish. they were greenish with little bars on them - killies? looked like good fluke bait to me

Killies(mummichogs) for sure. Good for small fluke, but die quick in a bucket.
The best place to seine is along a sheltered beach with a small shelf. You'll get spearing, killies, tiny fluke, searobbins, puffers, pipe fish, eels, and various other juvenile finfish, even snappers. It is like opening a Xmas present for the kid each time you pull it on the beach.
Magical. |

That reminds me so much of the great times I had with my son at that age. He's 17 now and we are fishing tomorrow.
