Something Different - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Fished Sandwich Mass last week with my almost 5 year old son and uncle-in- law and had a blast!
Had it to ourselves thanks to the hook up from Sturgis Boat works the Hobie made getting to the hard to reach places during the tidal swings a breeze….

The best part was seeing my little guy go solo, cast, set and reel. He was on fire.

East Coast striper, the best, when you get the bigger models, some nice eats right there, the tidal swing daily, out there, compares only to the tidal swing here when there is a tsunami....I fished there for a 3 month period and had a
"blast" on small chrome diamond jig heads with a 3 inch brown/silver plastic eel
or slugo type plastic, amazingly if you throw some west coast stuff at them
like Hammer, they go nuts...thanks for sharin...

Great post.

Every fish a little kid catches feels like you just got a whooper!

Congrats to junior for a job well done.

Now get him out to LJ already......

Josh that's awesome! The smile on your boy's face is priceless. I bet he was having the time of his life.

We just got back from Maine where we had the most insane striper fishing ever! It was WFO, I had 25+ in the 33-42" range, they were boiling up and down the beach and in true west coast style, I was fishing the iron on conventional gear. The looks I got from the hard core, set in their ways striper guys were hilarious, until they realized I was out fishing them 5 to 1. Anyway, my boy was so stoked to see these fish coming up on the sand, I can't wait 'til he's old enough to pull one in on his own.

We need to get out and catch some fish soon. Hope all is well.

Great post! Brought back a lot of good memories for me and my kids. We lived in South MA for three years and used to fish the Canal, Sandwich and Scusset Beach all the time when my kids were about the same age. The back yard money shot is classic!
