Delayed post - Happy Mother’s Day ❤️
Having the rare opportunity to spend a weekend morning with both my family and Marina’s family during peak season was truly a blessing. For the first time ever, I was able to get both families together on the boat to celebrate Mother’s Day.
The conditions couldn’t have been much better, light fog, calm seas, no wind, and an early departure to get ahead of the boat traffic. The first spot didn’t produce, but the next two were as good as it gets. The striped bass were feeding hard, and everyone in Marina’s family landed their first striped bass, and then some! We quickly filled the boat limit and were back at the dock by 10 AM.
As incredible as the fishing was, the catches aren’t what I’ll remember most. What will stay with me are the moments in between, the conversations, the laughter, and having everyone together celebrating the amazing mothers in our lives.
Days like this are a reminder that fishing is about so much more than fish. It’s about the people you share it with.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there ❤️🎣(Better late than never)
