Lets see some SURF fishing pics!!

My 11 year old fishin buddy George.

He's come a long way since this pic. Last time out I had him pluggin. He's still working on the casting distance, but at least he didn't get tangled up. I'll post up more when I can find them.

Pebbles and I met these kids at the PP inlet and helped them out for a few hours. We all had a blast!:

Charlie, 7





Chad, 8





Charlie snagged an Abu baitcaster from the bottom of the inlet.

Hey DS looks like your buddy George has got some patience.

[DarkSkies]

I took pics of pics from photos in an album I have the only problems were the damn camera date is wrong tried to crop the date out of the ones I could.The other problem was finding the right spot I kept getting a glare from the lighting.When I got the best shot I adjusted the pic as well as I could w/ the cameras software.Those are the best pics I like it when people catch and they have smiles on their faces.Some are older and didn,t want to tear them so I didn't use my scanner.

I think you did a decent job with the glare. You can only see it on a few. That's one of the things that kept me putting off doing this. I had it in my head that I needed to scan them. I've taken pics of 35mm prints. The best luck I had was when the camera was angled askew to the pic. If you see a glare spot developing, change the camera angle a bit. Otherwise, great job!

Hey DS looks like your buddy George has got some patience.

When I first started taking George and his little cousin fishing, they were only 7. Back then I would hook the fish and let them reel them in. They would get bored quickly. A few hours of fishing with them ended up with them playing in the mud while I hooked the fish for them. They would take the bluefish, dig holes in the sand for them, fill with water, and say the bluefish were "in the hospital". I guess they didn't notice too much that the bluefish we bought home never got "better".

So it's been a transition for them. I got them into bait fishing, they did ok. Last year was the first time I got George to throw plugs. I took him out surfcasting a few times after that, and have tried to giive him an understanding of fishing, conservation, the kind of water that is good for fishing, and all the little baitfish you want to look for.

He is developing patience, which is great because he never was very patient to begin with. (He kinda reminds me of when I was little.)

On one of our trips in the spring, he was observant enough to notice a worm hatch in the water. Pretty cool.

I'm real proud of him, and hope we can get him some nice fish for 2010 as he learns how to throw different plugs.

Where in the world do you find a wife who will agree to honeymoon at Montauk?





^^She's definitely a keeper, Surfstix. Hope Pebbles and I get a chance to meet her someday.





I don't know how kids could look any happier, great shots. Thanks for sharing.

Not the greatest picture. Taken with my cell phone by GunnySniper. It was just before sunrise after spending all night on a large rock. My 1st ever big fatty. 39" and chunky. Between the 2 of us we caught 15 fish that night. All successfully released




This is Gunny about an hour later from the same rock



And this was the sunrise from that day

Actually I believe she suggested it and I wasn't going to say no.We usually go back for a week in Oct.-Nov. for some diamond jigging(squidding)on the Lazy Bones (nice family orientated boat) not this year though.




^^She's definitely a keeper, Surfstix. Hope Pebbles and I get a chance to meet her someday.
Yes she is a keeper one of the most unselfish and giving people I have ever met.
W/O a doubt we need to get together. We are looking forward to meeting Pebbles and yourself.
