Earlier in the week my kids were buggin me to take them out fishing, with very little free time during the week, I had promised to take them out for a fish/swim on Sunday.
As my luck would have it Sunday was not the greatest day to be on the water with the kids Lightning, thunder, rain, wind, none of this was going to keep me from my promise. I packed the kids up along with some snacks, drinks, bobbers and worms and off we went. I decided to take them to the place where my roots in fishing began. It's a nice little sheltered spot that I could park the car at so if the rain came down (which it did) we could simply hop in the car and wait it out over snacks and drinks
after baiting my wee lady's hook and casting it out I knew we were in for some fun. As soon as that bobber hit the water it just kept on going
The result, Kassidy with a couple of the many sunfish she caught that day.
Along with all the sunnies there were many small perch and a couple of mini largies, but none of them got her as excited as those sunfish
While we were busy with the panfish my young lad was busy casting around (for you Wolfe) non other than a Tiny Torpedo He was having a tough time catchin any thing so I came to give him some guindance. I instructed him to cast into this opening in the weeds and slowly pop the torpedo. About to pops into it I could see a wake coming through the weeds I told him to be ready cause there is a fish coming. I dont think he believed me until there was a splash and his Torpedo was gone. After a good tussle with the fish (and the weeds) Chris lands this nice little pike.
Watching them catch all these fish and have such a great time relly put a smile on my face It also reminded me of all the times I had spent there as a kid with my dad learning the ropes. I hope they will look back and rember these times aswell.

Relic,
OMG, those 2 kids are too stinkin' cute!!!!
You know, I still get excited when I catch a nice, round sunfish. They fight like little bulls & look like rainbows with fins. So I'm with Kassidy on that!
Great job with the Tiny Torpedo, too. That's a great fish for a young boy! WTG, Chris!
Fun day, weather aside. Always make the best of things, for your kids...and you did just that.

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.
