Cape Cod Summer Vacation

by Jim
(Massachusetts)

My favorite vacation activity is to visit my family’s Cape Cod summer home, on the waterfront and go fishing. The ocean breeze always seems to be very soothing.

The surrounding beautiful landscape of trees and abutting natural marshland, provide a certain level of privacy.

The night before the trip, my friends and I go to the local tackle shop in town, to buy all the necessary supplies, including hooks and bait, while browsing through the sports fishing magazines, that are prominently displayed inside the store.

Our fishing trips are almost always, well underway before dawn.

We normally charter a boat and make our way about three or four miles offshore, hoping to catch some healthy sized, striped bass.

This particular hobby of mine, is something that I have been doing, since childhood.

It’s not so much about nabbing the big one, as it is about taking stock of the natural surroundings.

Pristine, sparkling blue oceans and sandy beaches, tend to have a calming effect on the soul. Fishing just provides the excuse, to enjoy it all.
