Today was a cold and windy day. I had the pleasure of taking my Dad, Connor and Chris out for a day of fishing in the new boat. It was sunny in the morning with moderate wind. We got out to the first spot and within 20 minutes, Connor was complaining about his ears hurting. There wasn't much discussion about it, we knew we had to turn back. After dropping Connor off, we got back on the water about 1:45. By this time, the wind had picked a lot and fishing seemed hopeless, but we made the cold run out to the reef anyways. I think everyone really wanted to go home, but we were all to stubborn to not catch fish. And catch fish we did! We got on a good bite and managed to pull some nice fish in fast. My Dad wrestled in a few big sheepshead and some nice trout. Chris seemed to catch a fish on every throw. When we got back to the dock, we had to only box of fish there. We brought back 11 trout, 5 sheepshead and 1 drum. It was a hard day on the water, but we made it count after all. I look forward to taking my Dad again on a better weather day. I guess he got to see how the boat handles in rough water. Overall, the day was a success. We fought the weather and some time contraints to catch a nice box of fish.
