How Was Your Fathers Day? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

BigFish · 06-15-2008, 07:09 PM

Mine went pretty good! Woke the kids up to go do some quick fishing before the rain came.......got our feet planted in our spot and the rains came! Weather did not co-operate and neither did the fish! Kids got cold and wet but they hung in there like troopers for as long as they could! First couple pics are of my oldest with his new waders he got for Christmas.......first time out with them! He liked them alot!

BigFish · 06-15-2008, 07:12 PM

This is my youngest! He does not really enjoy fishing, but he tuffed it out for his "old man"! He was soaked! I offered him the use of my rain coat but he said no! Maybe smarter next time! We were all wet and cold.....time to go!

BigFish · 06-15-2008, 07:12 PM

Yup! Time to go I guess! Cold rain is not fun when there are no fish around!

BigFish · 06-15-2008, 07:14 PM

I did get a nice Fathers Day gift from my wife and the boys though! This gigantic beach chair with foot rests and head rest! Just add rod holder!

BigFish · 06-15-2008, 07:15 PM

I waited on Mrs Nebe all day, did laundry, took care of my kid, cooked a rocking striped bass dinner, all the while, mrs nebe sat on the couch all day.

She broke her wrist 2 days ago...

She owes me big time

Me and my oldest stuck a few rats. Good day, even though it was sh!ty weather.

macojoe · 06-15-2008, 09:54 PM

I have some medical issues and spent 6 hours at the ER Sat afternoon and again 5 hours this morning.

When I got home my daughter & son gave me a new Garmin NUVI 200W I have been wanting one for a long time but did not want to spend the money as I was spending it on new eletronics for the boat instead

After that my wife wanted me to go out for dinner but I just wanted to relax, and thats what I did.

Skitterpop · 06-15-2008, 09:56 PM

Karin and I put on a small cookout which turned into indoor cooking. Its was I love getting hugs and kisses fron the baby at 4 months to the six year older so the two inbetween are 4 and 5.

Was a blast Happy Fathers Day to you all

spence · 06-15-2008, 11:32 PM

Slept in late, then went shopping, had a few beers then saw Rush in concert...

All in all a pretty average day

Talked to My Daughter, Rachel on the phone for a while and pfft! that weekend was gone! Oh, yeah Got an led light for the grille.

Nice, I wanted to go to that concert. I went to Bret Michaels at Twin Rivers Sat. Good show.

Sea Flat · 06-16-2008, 08:10 AM

Took my father-in-law fishing around the Elizabeth's. We chummed and chunked and ended up with a few dogfish so we left. We came accross a huge school of bluefish and we had a lot of fun with topwater lures. Have caught a few bluefish this year, but this was the first school of only bluefish I have seen in Buzzards Bay so far this year.

WoodyCT · 06-16-2008, 08:21 AM

5:05 my 7yo son wakes me up and says, "lets go fishing!" Headed down to the local breachway and on cast #3 a scrappy 25" schoolie jumps on my Hab's mullet. Sonny cranks him in and proclaims, "We both caught one!" Tide dies and we finish our session watching the bass rolling on minute sandeels from atop the bridge. He got a kick out of seeing what stripers look like when not on a hook.

Headed home. Lounged and dozed until it was time to go honor my father in law with Magic Hat #9, Wild Turkey and ribeye steaks all afternoon.

Home around 8:30- tucked the kids in- headed back out fishing until 11. Another schoolie, this one a jointed Redfin. Home to watch the Celts until 12.

All in all a pretty good day!

BrianS · 06-16-2008, 09:21 AM

I went to the casino Saturday night.. got home at 2.. didnt get to sleep till 330... My 22 month old generally gets up at 5:15am... He let Daddy sleep till 7:45

We made a big brunch... and other than that, just chilled out and watched a little Barney...

Went to the canal last night, had a few eels punished by choppers.. otherwise nothing.

The Iceman 6 · 06-16-2008, 01:19 PM

It was great. Fished with my father, went smimming with my daughters, brought them to see Kung Fu Panda, then go-carts, rockwall climbing, video games, and some more pool and BBQ action. It was a great weekend....

jmonte45 · 06-16-2008, 02:26 PM

I went out on the boat all day fishing with the little one. Caught plenty of bait (pogies) but only one 31" fish. I came up with a new saying, "A bad day of fishing, doesn't beat a good day of work"

basswipe · 06-16-2008, 05:51 PM

Extremely lame and sad considering my dad's condition.
