Good day on Sunday...

Went out of the Wareham river, nice ramp, easy in/out, good docks...parking space is limited though (they give tickets for not paying the $5 to park, yet no tickets for the cars parked in trailer spots taking our space??). Went over to the Mashnee flats, outgoing tide, saw some birds working, caught a few schoolies on a popper, caught a few more on the fly using a sand eel pattern...big surprise though was the JUMBO flounder my 9yr old caught. We were drifting over the end of the flat by the big rip, he has a small herring chunk on a striper rig, no weight, and this monster flounder (yes I'm sure it wasn't a fluke!), hit it and he starts yelling 'Dad I got something'. He fought it all the way in, I netted it and BOY was it good eating! Went to a BBQ that afternoon and the fresh fried flounder he caught was all the rage. He was showing all his pals, they were all pretty impressed with his (our) dumb luck. Watch, next time I go I'll bring a flounder/fluke rig with some clam and probably catch a striper on it! Anyway, great day. As parents we always remind our kids to say Thanks and Please...well the whole day my sons keeps saying to me, Thanks Dad, that was a lot of fun...almost makes the $3/gallon for gas and the sh*t I took for showing up to the BBQ late worth it!
