And the Results...

So we did get up early and it turned out to be quite fruitful! We had a long walk because of the low tide, but once out there, we got into some hungry fish. Mostly, they were pounding crabs on the bottom, but some were outgoing enough to bite our offerings. Max used a white Slug-go and landed a nice 27 incher... one inch shy of a keeper. My biggest was 26" - taken with my fly rod on an olive green sand eel pattern.

It was tough leaving all those fish to go into work, but I had commitments. We fished on the way back, in what turned out to be a VERY fishy tidal river. The fish were all coming in with the tide and they were everywhere. Maybe I'll try tomorrow too... who needs sleep?!

Fishing?

All looks good for a fishing trip tomorrow except for one thing... I don't like an East wind. At sunrise the wind will change from souwest to noreast... that is if you want to call it wind. The report calls for 4-6 mph. I've got a dozen quahogs in the pot, Red Sox on as I tie up the rods. Hoping for good weather holding... Maybe I'll even get back in time to go to work... hmm.

Pesto Pains

I have a batch of Basil ready to turn into pesto. Amy went to the store today and brought home Romano cheese instead of Parmesan ($4.40/ 8 oz.) Apparently the Romano was half the price of the Parmesan which was $9.00 for 8 OZ of crappy Shaw's Market store-brand cheese!

C'mon Shaw's, stop gouging us. What the HELL!

Will Walked

Will walked today... Out of nowhere... the kid starts walking. He'd been taking a couple steps here and there over the last week or so, but today something clicked. He just goes... all of a sudden.

He's very proud. We're proud. He walked right across the room, then turned and walked the other way.
