On the 28th of June I was booked by John DiGiovanni for a half day trip. It was his son's 13th birthday present. Des's actual birthday was the 25th of June. He brought two friends with him to share the experience. He did this instead of playing a bunch of video games and pizza. Hopefully this with start a trend. It's a good thing to see kids want to get outdoors and enjoy the experiences it offers.
Des is a very energetic boy and was up to the challenge that the bass and bluefish could hand him. His two friend were no slouches either. We fished the Stony Bar area and the old Screen Range spot near the #3 can in Cape Cod Bay. This area is just south of Welfleet Harbor. Des was able to land 3 keepers and one 13 inch black sea bass on his own.
As I said, it's good to see kids taking an interest is fishing and other outdoors sports rather than sitting indoors and playing games on either a tv or computer. Go down to your local sporting goods shop with your kids and see what they might be interested in. You could be starting them on a path to enjoy what mother nature provides us all in a way that respects what is all around us.
