Isaac's first fish
 

My brother and I took his boys Owen(6) and Isaac(4) fishing in the Humboldt bay on Saturday. Owen is getting to be an old hand at this but Isaac had never caught a fish. My mission for the day was to get him connected with a surf perch and start the fishing addiction. It was a little cool but the wind cooperated. I'll let the pictures tell the story...

First, a bit of a hike to get over to the bay. Your's truly in the middle flanked by the Owen on the left and Isaac on the right.

Sometimes fishing requires intense focus and concentration.

At other times a more relaxed approach is in order.

Either way, persistence pays off. Owen's first red tail.

Fishing is never just about the fish.

Good times there Tuna, good times. Way to start em off right.

Nice job TH.

With the way kids are going these days with video games and text messaging, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of fishermen in 20 years.

Thanks for doing your part to ensure the future of the fisherman.

Nice going Tuna!! and Isaac:clap::clap: That report and pics is probably the best fishing post I 've seen in a long time... and Surf cought fish at that:clap:

on another thought while looking at those pics, holy crap you got some drift wood out there. can you imagine hitting that puppy just under the surface with your V.

here in Raritan Bay we get some junk after a storm but our big headache is telephone poles floating standing up style with just a the tip maybe sticking out.

Good Job, : )
