Maiden Voyage—First Slime

Last night I took my recently acquired 1970 Sea King out for our first trip. (I bought this as a slight project boat to eventually fish the Brazos). Fishing was slow, but my kids had the time of their lives. Dad’s find a way to get your kids out on the water, you WILL NOT regret it. Anyone know how to take your kids fishing everyday and still make a living?

That's a good looking boat.

Thank you, I got some work to do, but plan to get it back to a restored condition.

Congratulations! Great times and welcome to the club! Nothing better than catching fish all day with your kid. My son is 5 and we’ve been fishing hard every week since he turned 2. Nothing brings me more joy than watching him get serious about fishing and battling fish after fish. Brings a whole other level of excitement to fishing. It’s been a long bumpy road getting him trained up to fish but man is it paying off now. Keep up the good work and keep makin those memories!

Thank you! Many of the world's problems could be solved if more dad's followed in your footsteps! No doubt.

Time with our kids - no price on that!

Keep it up!

Great pictures. I love the smiles.

Congrats sir!

Look at those smiles. The feeling you get when giving a gift like that to kids is awesome. Keep it up brother. Stick around here and you can learn some tricks and tips, have a laugh now and then and be a part of a fishing brotherhood second to none.

It just don't get any better! Life is GOOD!

Awesome job sir on the boat and finding time to take the kids out fishing. Love those smiles.

I remember that old saying, “Off the streets and on the creeks”. Very fitting !

Thanks fellas! Made two more trips this week. Caught even more fish. Last night the thrust hub went out. I pulled it apart this morning, surprised it made it this far. Per all my research this thing is dang near impossible to find. Any tips? It’s a 14 tooth.
