Well I haven't been out in a while and had no idea what to expect. It was another beautiful day so I wanted to get out. My wife was going to the store and I had my 4 year old. He hasn't been trolling before, but sounded interested in going. The wife said I had to put him down for a nap and asked how I was going to go fishing. Well simple. We have a walk around and worked great. Before I left this afternoon I took about 30 minutes and rigged up 5 rods. --one with a red hose, 2 just a single spoon, 1 spoon in tandem with a storm, and one with two small bucktails with small chartreuse shads rigged in tandem. I did stop by Tylers and they said to expect all blues but I could get lucky. Well, no rock. But in less than 2 hours of trolling --including setting up and reeling in (all by myself as my 4 year old is not quite strong enough for trolling rods yet) we managed 5 blues. After we caught 2 my son went down below and took his "nap." Life was good. I was out with my son, have a few beers, calm as could be and warm temps. I even kept a few as wanted to try them for dinner. I am eating them while typing this and let me tell you. Not bad. I just put worschester sauce, a little olive oil, some random seasoning and butter. I guess the key is to cook it fresh. Learned something today. My son likes trolling --not too impatient, and learned I like grilled bluefish
