Here is a late report from April 1/ 09, typical crappy weather day the way we like it windy & raining in my opinion the best time to fish. Here are few pics Finaddict, hunter and I, bait was cut herring & bloods.

Thanks for posting Chris. I might have a few for this month so far:naughty:

Before I post anything else, I have to post this report. Destiny and Hunter, Rocksandreds little boy, has a fishing competition between the two of them. AAAHHHH, the childhood rivalries:lookhappy:. Hunter caught the nice 36 1/2" striper you see above. Destiny was furious that Hunter had a bigger fish than her:rolleyes:.

Well I picked Destiny up after school on Thursday and she asked me to make a suicide run for some stripers. How could I say no?
We got to the spot and it didn't take long. The 1502 was bent in two and the Saltist was squeelin' with line peelin'.:dribble:

I told Destiny to get the rod, I knew it was a big fish. She set the hook and all I hear was "oh lord, oh lord". The battle went on for a bit and she was gaining ground. I looked at her and she was shaking from the fight. I asked her if she was OK and she said "yes" with a grunt and a chit eatting grin.

We got the fish to the surrf and I beached it for her. She scared the chit out of me when she yelled after seeing how big it was. This is her first fish over 40". It went 40 1/2" with a 24 1/2"G.

Yes, I managed a 33", but Destiny was "top hook" that day.

Beautiful fish, guys!!!:wow::drool: :bigeyes::dribble:

Man how fortunate you guys are to get out when the fish are around and spend quality time with your children. The look on Hunters's and Destiny's faces is more precious than all the gold in the world. Experiences like that will keep rewarding you all with a life time of memories.

Finaddict and Rocks, you guys not only put out interesting reports but tell some great stories with the report. That's one of the things that catches my interest, whether the people catch fish or not. Reading your reports makes me as a reader feel like I was right there as you were catchin em. Thanks for sharing em, man, incredible pics and great reports!!! :thumbsup:

Those are some incredible fish Guys. Destiny what a great job you did. You have me beat already this year. Hunter are you going to let Destiny beat you? Keep up the good work kids!

The water is warming up. I think it is about mid 40's almost 50 degrees.

Too many families don't have that focus Rocksandreds. The family that plays together, whether it's fishing, hunting, sports, or other recreation, stays together. Your boy and Finaddict's daughter look like they're having the time of their lives. Fantastic reports and pics, thanks for posting.

Our kids are the future of the sport, Rnr. It's sad to think that many children today have no interest in fishing. That gives PETA a good foundation to come in with their propaganda and sway them with sea kittens campaigns. Always enjoy reading yours and finaddicts reports, keep up the good work!:thumbsup:

[cowherder]

Beautiful pictures and reports guys, send those cows up here please!:drool:

[stormchaser]

^^ :thumbsup: What he said, nice reports. The pics say it all, your kids look very happy.

[albiealert]

I love reading this thread because instead of just posting, you guys put up a nice story with them, congrats on the catches. :clapping:
