Really nice first post and report. It is funny reading about fishing and an ice cream parlor in the same report.
The only thing that was missing for you and your son was a whale putting on a show also.
Where is the pic of your son smiling with that 5 1/4 lb. fluke?
When the sea bass limit goes up again in middle of October, try a bottom fishing trip as there is action all day and he will not be bored.
Now you have to buy him his own rod and reel. LOL
