Spent Father's Day fishing with my husband, father-in-law, sister-in-law, Lexie, her boyfriend, Logan, and his two kids (6 and 14)! We had a blast! We took our first in-shore ocean trip of the season to a wreck about 19 miles out!
I did learn on this trip that my sea-sickness remedy does not actually work for everyone! The 6 year old was sick the entire time. Poor little thing! Maybe I need to alter it a little bit for younger kids. I will figure it out and keep you all posted! So far, it has worked for all adults that have tried it though!
Note: She bounced back though and was swimming in the bay by the end of the day!
I pulled my first Flounder on the boat! I guess I'm finally learning how to be more careful. I've learned what it feels like to have the fish actually swallow the hook before trying to reel it in! We were just bottom fishing at the wreck, the current was really strong, so we were using 7 ounce weights. The Fishin' OC Deadly Double Flounder Rigs with Gulp haven't let us down yet!
Pink and White - Make them bite!
Using the same rig and bait, at the same wreck, my father-in-law caught a keeper Sea Bass and the 14 year old caught 3 Sea Robin! That was his first time ever catching a Sea Robin! It was awesome!
Sea Robin
When you catch a Sea Robin, it is very important to keep in mind that this fish has sharp spines around their gills and dorsal fins that can release poison! So make sure you are very careful!
