Hang in there Paul, you'll fix it!
"Luck" is when preparation meets opportunity.
I prefer fishing evolution to fishing extinction.
If ya want to clean up the water, ya gotta get the pigs out of the creek.

Nantucket report, 8/10... good quality but quantity was lacking. Pool fish went 7.6 lbs and most Fluke were 23 or so inches, no shorts on boat. Several seabass up to my 23"er. Tomorrow's cod/Haddock trip is now Fluke day #2 because the Haddock have not shown up yet on Georges Bank. Check out this left-eye fluke caught today, quite rare...

Great day of fishing with my grandson. Started slow with a try for triggers at a few of my favorite spots. Unfortunately, the previous few days of wind seemed to push the fish off the couple wrecks I usually target. Water was very dirty and I didn't see anything on the fishfinder. After a really good effort, I decided to head to the FI reef. Went to a favorite rubble spot and slowly had a pick of mediocre fish. With the wind against the current, our 3 ounce jigs couldn't cut it. I decided to deploy my trolling motor and stem into the wind while trying to figure the drift direction. It didn't take long and we had a near vertical jig and were able to drop to 2 ounces while our SOG was .8 kts. The drift was short and gramps was constantly lifting the motor (no it's not an auto-deploy/stow but I do have one on my 24' Carolina Skiff). They don't make an auto-deploy in 84"/36volt. The fish were there, but the previous presentation was off. Once I found the direction I needed to motor, it was constant action as we worked over a small area. A lot of fish to cull through but we did wind up with our limit of mostly 18 1/2" to 20" fish. My grandson won the pool with a nice fish. What a blast fishing with him. He's thirteen and boat smart. Once out of the canal, I can turn the boat and navigation over to him (of course, I monitor). I taught him early on due to our canyon trips. If I croak, I don't want to bloat while he searches for Fire Island Inlet. It was another great day on the water.

13 years old and he gets to drive a 30 foot Contender! Wait till he grows up and takes his grandpa fishing on his 50 foot Freeman! You’re doing it right! Positive incentivizing is a powerful motivator!

Thanks, Lep. I'm very proud of my grandsons. Thanks to their moms, screen time on phones and computers is very regulated and they are out doing things we used to do when we were kids. I feel boating/fishing is a great tool to teach kids many hands-on abilities and responsibilities. My guys are my fishing buddies and they are becoming responsible boaters/fishermen and men with the ability to think ahead to avert a potential problem.
For me, it doesn't get any better than this.

You are not only a great fisherman, Crabman, but an outstanding parent as well!
Way to go. Those boys are lucky to have you and your wife show them how to really excel in a challenging world filled with far too many distractions.
In my case, although I have no grandchildren of my own, my favorite retirement job is running the Kids Camp Trips on the Orient Star. Nothing better than teaching the kids how to fish and learn to love the outdoors.

Second day for Nantucket Fluking was a wet one but a good one. Limits for most and again more Sea Bass than I've ever seen on the shoals. My buddy got the big one today, 9 lbs. This year the bigggies showed in August, June was not as good as in past. If you're going up there you've gotta try the best seafood restaurant ever - anything on menu , as much as u want, $45 except King Crab. They definitely lost money on us....
