Esther with a Grouper

We started to go to Florida each year to visit Frank's mom and stepdad. On this trip, we went out on a bottom fishing trip and I caught my first Grouper.

1990 Jan 14 - Ice Fishing

Frank's first fish caught ice fishing

Frank decided to try ice fishing. I don't think he caught anything on the fishing pole, but he was successful with the tip-up. He caught his first largemouth bass through the ice!

1989 Sept - Ontario, Canada

We went to Ontario on vacation and fished an area called the Hundred Thousand Islands. I caught my first small Northern Pike there and here is Frank landing a largemouth bass.

Welcome to my Fishing Blog!

You may know me as a watercolor artist, but another passion I have is fishing. I started to fish as a child growing up in a small town, Northboro, Mass. We had the good fortune to have the Assabet River running right behind my home. My father taught me how to fish and I would spend countless hours fishing with my father, grandfather and brother. I got away from this hobby and only returned to it when I met my husband Frank. He also fished as a child and was excited to rekindle this hobby with me! Most of our vacations now include time spent fishing freshwater and salt water. This blog shows you some of the fish we've caught and goes back in time to show you some of my earliest adventures in fishing.
