Family Fishing Trip

Yesterday myself, Justin, my sister and Erik went on a little family fishing excursion. Justin had gotten a Groupon for a fishing trip with the Northstar Fishing Fleet out of Captree State Park here on Long Island for four people about a month ago, so we decided to use it this weekend because the weather was supposed to be nice.

We wanted to go on the night fishing trip but it was completely booked, so we settled on the afternoon trip. Which ended up being perfect because it was such a beautiful day to be out on the water.

So we boarded the boat a little before the sailing time of 2:00pm and posted up in the front of the boat because that's where the guys wanted to be. Justin had brought two of his own fishing rods for us to use but decided on using the ones on board like Kristina and Erik (I believe it was a $5.00 per rod fee when you purchase the Groupon but Erik had worked on the fleet many many moons ago, so they gave them a discount).

We set out on time and hit up a handful of spots throughout the course of our time on the boat. Unfortunately despite catching five fish collectively (Kristina caught three, Erik and Justin both caught one and I of course caught nothing), none of them were keepers and we left the boat empty handed.

Even though we didn't catch anything, we had a great time. The crew was super friendly and helpful.

If you're on Long Island and you enjoy being out on the water, I'd highly recommend snatching up this Groupon while it's still around because was totally worth the $75.00 for the four of us to hang out on a boat for the afternoon.
