5/1/11 A.M.-I had just
left the house to take the boat back to Hatteras when I got the
call that we have been waiting from THE FISHING FOOL. I
made a U-Turn, pulled back into the driveway and ran upstairs
to get my boy. He turned Bugs Bunny off, jumped off the
couch, and the two of us hauled you-know-what down to Oregon
Inlet. 8 Year Old-Henry(PHOTO) made up
for all the crummy fishing trips his dad had taken him on so
far this spring. He landed approximately 75
Bluefish up
to
3 lbs.
Everyone of them came casting double rigs
(PHOTO).
The
fish were all over the inlet with birds on them. Non-stop
action
(PHOTO).
Henry
said it was our best fishing trip ever
(PHOTO)!
Thanks
Bobby!

fishing.... Daddy is relieved as this one, made up for our
last two trips.
4/10/2010 - 7 Year Old-Henry & Daddy took another

situation. Mentally, he is much better at handling the
skunk than his Daddy.

also also caught his first
Lizardfish(PHOTO) which he
thought was really cool. And, he landed another huge

getting to be a regular occurance. Daddy now calls the big
Flounder that his customers catch, "Henry Flounders."

ever with his cousins Kaleena(PHOTO) and Brianna(PHOTO), and his Uncle Dave.
We landed 15 Triggerfish

today in looking for some fish int he Currituck Sound.
Henry learns the valuable lesson that you do not catch them
every time. He tells a frustrated Daddy "It's O.K., they
just must not be hungry today."
