I know this is a saltwater forum but he will be there very soon, and has already fished from piers and jettys. I usually dont post pics of my son online but i am very proud of him. I fear the day when he's telling me how to do it. He already gets upset when he has to use a pole other than the trusty spiderman.

Him with "a perfect bait" on Dania Beach pier in Fla. caught on shrimp

Some more from a shrimp tipped sabiki at the Pier.

His first perch

In Port A fishin for piggies and feedin pelicans

Is this a Perch ?

We call them sunfish here in MA ... a true perch is longer and more slender. Could be a regional name ....

Anyway ... thanks for sharing those photos of your son !!! You should be very proud of him.

Jared,
Save and remember those in your heart, he's quite the boy too soon to be a man.

I really have enjoyed fishing with my son over the years watching him develop into a very good fisherman. Making memories is what it's all about. He is almost 19 now and we have been fishing together since he was able to walk.
