A fellow from work asked if i would take him and his young son fishing today.
The lad at 5 years old was pretty darn good on the water, but after trolling for salmon
for a 1/2 hour it became evident this was not fishing for him.
Packed up the downriggers and ran to a spot where there's usually lots of rockfish.
For 2 hours in the sunshine we jigged greenling, lings and quillbacks in 30' of water
and junior reeled in most of them.
The squeals of delight as he reeled them up made me realize how kids get hooked
on the sport we love.
Good day on the water.
