7/29/09 - the king family trip

meet the two best behaved kids i've ever met.  nick on the left is 7, cameron on the right is 9. 



we launched out of half moon bay to the calmest waters i've seen in a long time. 



cameron scored first with a nice black.





nick was not far behind.





then nick stuck a hog of a vermillion.



cameron shot right back with one of the biggest blacks i've ever seen.



we didn't stick as many fish as i would have liked, but it was still a beautiful day on the water. 



i cruised by bean and didn't see anyone.  funny, it was really slow today.  i was metering fish all day but could not get them to bite.  shrimp flies tipped with squid were the ticket today again.  alan

Looks like a fun day, Thanks Alan for the report and pics..

Must be a memorable trip for the kids!  Thanks for the report and pictures Alan.

I think maybe you need to use lighter gear

Alan,  You sure do know how to keep your family happy and working to keep fresh fish on the menu

Lots of fun thanks for sharing the family Outing

Another great trip, Mr T. Fishing may have been a little slow but looks like the kids & everyone else had a good time.

You are a great role model, A.T.

I remember going out on Lake Mendocino in a little boat when I was that age with my grandpa hooking slab crappie...and look what it did to me... can't imagine the impact on those kids lives growing up remembering those fish they caught on your boat...u might have some fishing fanatics there when they get older....

WTG thx for the pics and post...

WTThink of others, Alan!   landing fish with those lil'rods look slike a blast and very tiering for the kids.......i'm sure they loved it more than I loved reading about it........You're a very kind man with alot of GoodKarma built up. 

Thanks for taking us along again Alan.

I'm with Sledge, my Grandpa got me started fishing bass and crappie out of private ponds on golf courses when we would go to service their water filtration systems....
