Growing up on the south shore means I have some hardy seafaring friends who take the annual fishing tournament seriously (including our resident chef who comes equipped with enough homemade breakfast sandwiches to fuel 12 hours on the water.) They arrive willingly to the docks at 4am ready to push off.
Our efforts have paid off in the last couple of years – in 2023 we caught the most fish with a staggering 1,048” of total fish, and this year we placed 3rd by reeling in a 44.5” striper about a mile north of Minot Light.
While there may not be many more fishing trips this summer with baby #4’s impending arrival (any day now) – I know I can look forward to next year’s South Scituate Striper Invitational, which happens to take place on Father’s Day weekend. Maybe someday the kiddos will be game enough to come with me!
