Archie had his first fishing adventure today!
Tomorrow is my birthday, and Archie and I went fishing out in the Monterey Bay with JM Sport Fishing to celebrate. I’ve wanted a father-son fishing experience for a while, and Archie’s been asking to go fishing lately. I’m so glad we did it.
We took a 4-hour fishing excursion out of the wharf, and we both caught our limit of rockfish. Archie wasn’t the only child on board, but he was the youngest. He loved the experience and was so exhilarated. He excitedly shouted out to everyone on the boat whenever he caught a fish, and he caught ten total. He had a blast and asked if we could go again. He is such a great adventure buddy. He’s always up for anything and has such a good attention span. Seeing his excitement makes everything so much more fun. He makes my life more fun.
As an added bonus, we saw a pod of Risso’s dolphins and spotted the famous local white dolphin, Casper! The weather was great today, and the sea was friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better first fishing experience for Archie. I’m thankful for another year of life and am so grateful for special memories with my boy. 🎣 🌊 🛥️
