Fished Plum Island Gut for Blues and Stripers with Chloe over the Sunday of Labor Day weekend 2010. Unfortunately, Hurricane Earl had hit (weakly) on Friday, so the surf was choppy and the fishing grounds were churned up. We caught several Blues but no stripers.

The girls and I went deep sea fishing off of Harwichport, Massachusetts and my 7 year-old Hayley caught her first fish (a scup).

We also caught a bunch of Sea Bass to go with the porgies. Great day!

Took the kids hunting for Blue Crabs in the Bass River by the West Dennis Beach Bridge near the WDYC. My daughter hauled up a few good ones, but not enough for a family crab boil so we released them all back into the river.
