11/6/09 - ben and the boys

meet 6 year old josh and 8 year old jake.



we headed down to santa cruz to fish the local reefs. we already had a south wind and there was news of some big swells headed out way.  not a good combination for rockcod fishing, but we went anyway.



jake stuck a black rockfish first, with an assist from his brother. 



the kids didn't last long, though.  the big swells took their toll and the kids were vomiting in no time.  i gave them some chewable dramamine and it just knocked them out. 





we stuck around for another half hour and called it day.  our total was four small rock fish in 2 hours.  very slow bite with lots of fish on the meter. 

good times alan. I have felt the same way on many a trip. I am sure they still had fun

Classic pics!

About 30 years ago I was those kids! Seat cushion on a bait tank=most.comfortable. bed. ever.
