Went fishing in the sewer yesterday with my son and my son caught this nice 33”, 15lb Butt on live chovie and 15lb test line bass rod. My son said I got a bite and then,” I think I’m stuck on the bottom”. lol Nice battle on the light gear and first legal of the year.

Nice fish!
I remember getting stuck on the bottom. I could have sworn I snagged but, I knew I was casting into a sandy bottom. I have stood on the sand at low tide, where I was casting. Then the line started to shake. The result was much better than losing my rig.

Do you fish on separate kayaks or a tandem?

I have a PA 14 and he sits on top of the bait tank lid. We sit back to back but he pretty much stands up when he’s fishing most the time. The kid is a good fisherman. He’s been fishing with me since he could hold a rod. Out fish’s me a lot lol

I have wanted to take my son out for a while in my PA14, but didn’t know if I would get harassed for doing so? Anyone ever have a problem taking your kid out?

Looks like a great day by the way!!
