You bet friend! I was one of those kids too. 6 years old. 3:45 wake up to fish at sooke and I’m some so excited, that I’m sprinting laps (in the dark) up and down the driveway as my dad loads the boat. I still sprint to the dock after unloading my boat and parking my trailer. Some things never change!Great idea for a nice positive thread Stizzla - thanks
So many things...………..
Seeing the smile on my sons face and him getting up willingly at 04:45
Seeing a sunrise on the West Cost of the Island
Feeling a nice spring or crazy coho on the end of your line
Bottom fishing - all aspects
Knowing you had all the right gear and planned properly
Doing it yourself and being successful knowing that fishing in the ocean can be difficult at times
Having cool experiences and seeing amazing things that make great memories with my son
I jog from the parking lot to the boat too! It actually kinda frustrates me to see others sauntering during the gong-show days at the ramp. Like c'mon! I'm going to miss the tides!You bet friend!

Awesome storyAs others have mentioned, a great thread Stizzla.
Having a boat and the luxury of being able to fish provides so many memories. One of my favourites was the first time my grandson, 7yrs old at the time, slept over so we could go fishing early next morning. I told him I would wake him at 5am. I got up at 4:30 and was going to go downstairs to make lunch for the day. Opened the bedroom door and he was kneeling on the floor waiting for me, all dressed and ready to go. Asked why he was up so early and he said he was making sure I didn't go fishing without him. We spent an absolute awesome day together on the water and I often think about the million and 1 questions he asked me that day. Can't remember if we caught a fish that day or not but it really didn't matter.
I got a little misted up from that! Thanks NewfAs others have mentioned, a great thread Stizzla.
