Bonus fishing!

Had a chance to get out with my younger brother "FreeRide" this past Saturday morning. Arrived at the ramp to find higher than expected winds and light rain. We don't get a chance to get out often enough, so everything lined up and we were still going to give it a shot. As the story often goes I'm glad we did! The conditions got better by the hour and the fish were active enough to keep us both busy. My brother found himself a nice sized striper and we managed a nice cooler full of fish for his family. I always enjoy my trips with "Lil" brother and cherish these memories. Doesn't get much better for me. Looking forward to the next.

Maybe a little cold, windy, and wet............................and worth every second of time and effort.

Love that little guy! An awesome day...........an awesome day indeed.

Sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Some nice fish and I bet that striper made the drag scream! Been wondering where you been. You did much better today than I did in two days last weekend.

Nice story. Guess it's better to take that lil guy to catch fish than to take him to a steakhouse and feed him.

LOL D, in his case that is a certainty! :Rofl

Yup he went from little brother, to younger brother by the time he was 13 :)

IT was a stellar day and sometimes "stellar" isnt always defined by the amount of fish one catches. (Though it helps for sure)

Thanks for ALL the kind words folks. :ThumbsUp
