*Fun Day With Nick*

This page is all about a day Captain Walleye Pete took his son Nick fishing, with posts from the TidalFish.com : Message Boards, and pics from the trip. They went June 2, 2004.

Hello All,

Today is one of those days when I know I'm going to enjoy it......Had a last minute trip cancel, so....I woke up my son and said come on buddy lets go fish'in. Nick and I are going out of St Jeromes creek... we are going to practice our jigging techniques and we'll just plain enjoy a day on the water. Don't get to many of these lately....if the afternoon storms hit we'll run to smith island and eat or grab a bed and breakfast if the storms hang around enough. I'll report back on how we do.....take care and good luck fish'in......

Hello all,
What a day.. flat seas and fish all over in the open bay. Many pods of breaking Stripers and Blues in the bay near the shipping channel. Also, over in the area of the middle grounds fish were active on top. I lucked into some trout down tide from breaking blues on two different occasions. Just on a hunch I really concentrated on the bottom down tide side of breaking fish. What a rush....tap....zing...........................! All said and done 8 trout over 30". Biggest being about 34" caught by Nick. It was a thrill for him but my thrill dwarfed his....LOL. He caught 3 of the 8 and we lost several while the bite was on. The normal structures didn't hold the trout. Its was breaker hopping that did it for us today......good thing is the trout are not extinct. I kept 6 trout....1 for us and 5 for a family with 12 kids....yes 12! Figure they could get one good meal this weekend out of that.

The bay looked healthy to me yesterday.....plenty of charter boats chumming it up and catching and plenty of room for tight tackle guys to do there thing. So.......go get'm boys.....

Heres some pics of Pete and Nick and the fish they caught that day.
