I had my cousins in town today and they wanted to try their hand at bay fishing today. The first part of the day was with Thomas Kelly (my cousin) and his brother in law Paul. Jason also rode out with us this morning. It was awesome to spend some time with Tom talking about the "old" days fishing on my grandparents pier and hopping from light to light. We really used to have fun as kids. Jason got off to a quick start with 6 nice trout in the first 20 minutes. Paul and Tom both picked up 1 here. We made a long run and we were instantly back on fish. By 8:00 we had 13 trout and decided to go look for reds. Tom had never caught a nice red and I was going to change that today. The wind picked up, but these guys stuck with it. Jason caught the first one and it went 28 inches on the nose. It was a beautiful big fish. We made a few more moves with no results until it was almost time to go and get Toms girls. Then the rods started bending over left and right. Jason missed a NICE fish. The rod was almost touching the water and the line was peeling off it, but he forgot the hook set in all the excitment. Then it was Tom's turn. He quickly boxed 2 nice reds back to back and then it was time to go get the girls. We changed the crew out and headed back to the trout hole. Kristen quickly caught a couple of nice trout and then we headed back in. It was a great time on the water with family. It was great to see all of them and to get to fish with them. I hope to see them again soon.
