I have spent my life around fisherman. My Dad's one true love is to fish. His requirement for securing a permanent new home to live out his retirement was "How good is the fishing and how long is the season?" After much consideration Mom and Dad retired and moved to Florida about 6 years ago. Dad prefers freshwater fishing....mostly for bass. Overall he is a catch and release kind of guy. In my mind I learned from a pro at an early age how to bait my own hooks and land the beast. I am also please to admit that my girls find fishing fascinating. We keep poles in the camper for the occasion where there may be a pond or some body of water to fish in on our camping excursions. Over the summer Mom and Dad joined us on a camping trip to Cherrystone in Virginia and Dad took Morgan, my nephew Brandon, and my husband on a charter boat fishing trip. Morgan was in her glory as she caught the most fish! Now Dad has had a few boats over the years and has frequented many a lake with them. You can pretty much guarantee that during the months of peak fishing he will not venture far from home.
Over Christmas Break Jonathan took Dad along with some family and friends out onto the Chesapeake Bay and into the ocean for some deep sea fishing. Striper was on the agenda for the catch. Unfortunately the fish were not biting too much that day but Jonathan and LeAnn were able to land a few big ones. Morgan sat this one out as the fish were bigger than her and she probably could not have reeled one in alone!
Happy Fishing!
