Of course this will be followed by bigger and better in the coming years, Right?
Stay tuned as his mother is eagerly anticipating our "diamond" anniversary next year. What should I tell her? What would you do?

Your son may be 4, but youth sports loom on the horizon and very quickly they will consume more of your free time than fishing. A happy wife is a better aid to successful fishing than a boat. It is a lot of work caring for several small boys and letting her know you realize and appreciate it means a lot.

I've got a 10ft Lowes Jon boat you can borrow for a few years if you want. Annoyingly small, but it will get you and a coupla small kids around a pond.

This year i plan on fishing the Canal alot more. But i would like to Cutty for the first time in the spring/summer. Maybe a fall trip to block island?

p.s. Fall at the "Shack" is planned. Just couldn't think that far out on only one cup o'coffee. Thinking much clearer now! On to cup four, then drive to Jersey. Stoked on caffine, the only way to fly down the Parkway! YYEEEHHHAAAA! Southbound and down.
