fishing with pappi october 5, 2002


My parents recently bought a little house in Lavalette, 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?


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


And here's (Enter Kettle Drums: BOM-BOM, BOM-BOM, BOM-BOM!) Pappi!


Here's my dad's good friend and total Guinea (ha!) John Antanino and my good friend and kooky Limey, Grant.


Check out Skipper 'large and in charge' at the helm!


Navigating the waterways out to the open sea...


Ah, beautiful New Jersey....


Skipper brings the boat to a stop...


And then casts with authority. Yes, this is where the fish will be.


Grant does his impression of "Rocky Balboa fishing."


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).


Grant, Me and Pappi.
