fishing with pappi

october 05, 2002

My parents recently bought a little house in Mannahawkin, NJ right near Long Beach Island. The house came with a big dock in the backyard...so it was only a matter of time before Pappi managed to talk my mother into letting him (yep, that's right - I said "let." We all knows who wears the pants) get a boat. So Grant and I headed down to check it out and go fishing!
Here's a shot of my parents beach house from the dock out back. Cute, right?   tags:shore house


And here...(Insert 2001 Space Odyssey Music Here) is my dad's new boat.   tags:boat

Here it is ladies and gents: THE CATCH OF THE DAY! Yep, after 3 different spots and around 3 hours of fishing...the only thing we managed to pull in were two blue crabs (that were munching on our bait and we yanked them aboard).   tags:crab
