It started a few years ago when Capt. Derick called me to take a back country trip.This was the first time any of them had done a chartertrip here in Charlotte harbor. So I told Derick I’ll take them . I got on the phone And spoke to Brain Dads I told him that if he would like to take the kids and try to get them on some sharks macs and a few other things cause that week the back country was slow all week. He said that sounds good it would be great if my kids hooked a few . So 2 days later we hooked a whole bunch of sharks macs I believe we got got 2 cobias also. Then on the way home hes dad book a few more days for the month to come. He had a blast and so did the kids. and he was looking forward to getting them back out . so I made a quick stop and they were able to hook a few reds for dinner for dinner . So far we went 3 days later Derick called me and told hey The trip that he booked had to be cancelled And I said why what happened and he said he had just got a quick call by hes wife a said that brains dad and hes grand farther both dad in a boating accented .And that the kids were Fin . And just the other days Derick calls me and say hey do you remember the the dad that dad. I said yes . He goes their moms just called me and wanted to know if I could take Brian out.
I got on the phone with his mom a she told me the whole story very sad. So I was already booked up and I told her that I had a few friends going but I’ll take him. And not to worry about it. I’ll pick him up at 6am. I told her on the next one she would have to call sooner and right then I knew that this boy was even lucky to get on a boat. After all that he’s family have been tough. So I feel real lucky that I was able to get him out. Things like this is why I love my job. The mom still did give me money and I wasn’t going to say no cause I know she really wanted too. But Brain has grown up and has a pretty good head . He hooked a jewfish and jump a tarpon and hooked alot of cat fish while were fishing for tarpon. He also hooked a few smaller sharks as well. All in all it was a good day and thanks to Robert and John for letting little man come with us.
I took Brain Jigging first thing in the morning he caught on quick. He’s going to be a good fisherman.
