Fishin' with Dad

[Jedi Lure Tricks]

My family came down for a few days to visit and spoil their new grandbaby. Knowing my Dad isn't a big angler, I decided to ask if he would like to give it a shot. He was game, so I planned a trip with my buddy, Jason a.k.a. Longcast. I figured since Dad has never gotten a taste of saltwater fishing, we'd try to put him on some big bull reds..

After dodging half a dozen sports launching at Cal point, Longcast, me and Dad were on our way south. Got to the jetties at about 7:30 rigged up and got hooked up right away. Dad's first redfish put up a good fight, but the next one about ate his lunch! After a great fight and several drag-burning runs, we took pics and released the bohemoth red. Dad was smiling ear to ear, laughing and giving hi-fives all around! The action slowed after that, but we had the best time! The smile on the ol' man's face is priceless!

Special thanks to my good friend Jason. He was helping in every way. From clearing lines to gettin fresh mullet for my Dad. Jason did everything he could to make sure this day was special for my Dad and me. Thanks again, J. I appreciate it bud!

Ob I think I had as much fun as you watching your dad catch those monsters. This was just a good day on the water. Mr Thomas was grinning from ear to ear. Im so pumped we could put him on a couple fish. Now if I could get Cali to hook into one.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! It doesn't get much better than today, that's for sure!

Yeah J, it was awesome watching him enjoy that rod doubled over and the drag screaming! It's so fun watchin people experience the thrill of catching their first really big fish, I really enjoyed it too!

It was a special day that he and I can share for a long time.

I can remember when my dad did everything he could to put me snd my brother on fish. Now we do everything we can to put them on fish. Ob today was just awesome. I bet the guys down from us were like what the heck they got. We were just laughing and hollering like some school girls. Lol.
