Throughout the day we probably boated a couple dozen fish in all but only had 3 legal keepers over the 19” minimum. We fished from the 1st Island all the way over to the Eastern Shore and back again. We looked around some for Cobia but didn’t see any.
Next up on my list is the annual Wish-a-Fish event. (www.wishafish.org) The Wish-a-Fish mission is to “provide a little relief for a family from the daily stress of having a child with ‘special needs’… by taking the entire family out for a day of fun and fishing on the water.” This Saturday is the day for this year’s event. My regular Ho, Bill, will once again join me in this worthy cause. A captain can’t have a much better Ho than Bill. Not only does he know his way around a boat, how to rig lines and bait hooks, he is also a talker. So he takes care of the kids as well as keeps the parents engaged. Or asleep! Guess it depends on what side of the fence you’re on.
With all seriousness, this is a great event and a great time for these kids. I’ll post some pictures and a report after Saturday but until then, here are a couple pictures of Michael and Hanna from our last two events.
One final thought, this blog is called “Attitude Outdoors” and that means not only fishing, but hunting as well. And hunting is just around the corner. Bow season will start on Oct 4th here in Virginia. We know you don’t mind seeing dead fish; hopefully dead Deer and Turkey won’t bother you either. Stay tuned.
I’m joining a new hunt club this year,(Lonesome Three Hunting & Fishing Club.) I'm staying with my current club as well but this new club is just 3 miles from the one I’m in now and they have almost 3000 acres. More land means more Deer and Turkey. As important; this new club has a real club house with running water, electricity, bathrooms, showers, bedrooms and a full kitchen. I will attempt to keep this blog updated with both fishing and hunting reports throughout the winter season.
