A Fish Story
This weekend I took the kids fishing for the first time. Shelly joined in the fun and we hit Silver Lake, which is a nearby lake. We selected this site to fish because the kids liked this area when we did a geocache here not too long ago. I promised one day we would return.
So, a couple weeks ago I bought them their own poles. I rigged up some casting plugs and let them practice casting the backyard. Surprisingly, they picked it up quickly.
Silver Lake is a nice little area, aside from the icky green water. There was no intent on keeping any fish, so this spot seemed like a good one. The weather was warm, but the spot we chose was a good one. It was shaded and the heat wasn't really an issue.
Cale started off strong catching the first fish. You could tell Cade was a little jealous, but he didn't let it bother him. Cale ended up catching four fish total. At this point Cade had 3. Cale decided he was done for the day. He had fun, but wanted to run around a bit. Cade wanted to press on fishing. At this point Cade went on a tear catching one fish after another. By days end he had caught 10 total.
Both kids had a blast and can't wait to go fishing again.
Check out the pictures over at Flickr. There you will also see my monster catch, which happened to be the biggest fish of the day!
