The past few days have been a blur highlighted by the father - child kickoff, which my son Jason (Lil' Biscuit) and I had the pleasure of participating in. It was a fantastic event made very special by wonderful weather, excellent crews, lots of fish and, most importantly, the effort of an army of volunteers and contributors led by Bill & Nicholas Pino the creators of this celebration of sportsmanship and family.
Just last night, we all gathered at the always warm and inviting home of Jane and Marty. We shared some great times and a wonderful feast which included some grouper caught on the Slip Slidin last Tuesday.
Don't remember the details much, but with our now trademarked late start, we headed about 40 miles off, exploring a couple of areas Slip recently marked. Hard and coral bottoms in 105 feet or so. 3 foot seas and cooler than last week 64 degree water.
Steady pick of seabass, beeliners a couple of scamps and a red or two. Slip scored with what, I believe, was our first 5 lb sea bass of this season
As always, exploring was fun, but the day was quickly fading. We had to catch some fish for the fish fry and hurry on home so that I could get ready for a 4 AM Wed. morning business trip. So we chose a reliable spot just inshore and on the way home and we proceeded to fill out our limit with small red groupers.

The "dock" shot
Slip cleaned, bagged and iced the catch and had it ready for me to pick up on Friday on my way to Morehead and the tourney.
Thank you Nick for taking me fishing and for sharing the catch with the father - child tournament crowd. Everyone enjoyed the fresh fish.
