Fishing Report

October 3, 2009........ These are the kinds of day you will remember forever.... touching a child's life in a fishing sort of way.  My friend Darius and his little buddy Chase were with me this afternoon and it was Chase's first fishing trip ever!  What a trooper.  He learned to cut Shrimp and bait his hook and proceeded to catch some nice spots and you would have thought that he was catching 1000 pound Blue Marlin.  Just look at his stance and him pulling that huge Spot into the boat!  And better yet look at Darius' grin and laughing smile watching Chase do all the work!  Way too much fun for everyone on board.  I don't know who I laughed louder at, Chase or Darius!  Anyway, Chase wants to come back again real soon for round No. 2!  Fishing with light tackle knows no boundaries or age limits.  Your turn next!

The Clemson Boys were back for another trip and we caught many nice Spanish Mackerels one day and hit the Bay the next where we played with the Puppy Drum and other species of inshore fish.... and once again the jokes and fun were wild..... It was hard carrying all eight of the fellows, so Robert and I split them up into two groups of four and had a ball!  That new Math they teach at Clemson works well.  And I found out what the "O" and "N" in Clemson stand for.... what a great joke for my older Brother, an IPTAY member.  Loads of fun and fish with a great group.  I hope I can get the Spanish pictures shortly to post.

The "O" stands for Honor and the "N" stands for Knowledge.
