First Freshwater Fishing Trip – 2011

Finally had a chance to go fishing last weekend!

First trip this year, so it was important that my 7 year old son had a successful trip!

We stocked up on some worms and took a few lures as well. Checked over the rods and reels and everything looked good!

We were ready to go. So we headed over to our local stream and began fishing. Since there is a current in the stream, I gave my son a few pointers about fishing with a bobber and live bait and letting it drift while keeping the line fairly tight. After a few casts, he had his first fish! Caught a “roach” fish.

A few worms and casts later and he had his second roach. It was late in the day so we didn’t stay real long, but it was still fun for both of us.

Yeah … Dad caught a small roach and a sunny as well.  🙂  But most of all, Dad got to spend some quality time with his son!

I’ll post some pictures of the fish next post.

Hope you all have successful fishing trips this year!

Catch you later.

Fresh Water Fishing – Hall Of Fame?

I was reading through some of my e-mails and saw a nomination for the fresh water fishing hall of fame.

Now this isn’t the first time of heard of the FWFHoF, but it’s the first time I’ve really thought about it!

And I was wondering why there should even be a Hall of Fame for freshwater fishing? Fishing to me is personal. It’s me time and at times it’s also family time. But the lure of fishing for me is the ability to get away and spend some quality time with nature and enjoy trying to outwit a bass!

If I don’t catch anything – no big loss. I usually have a great time just being outdoors!

So why is there a hall of fame for this? I guess maybe we need to honor those who fish for sport and money? You know those guys/gals that catch more fish than everyone else and can have bragging rights as well as sponsor’s money, and actually make a living at fishing.

I haven’t actually read the qualifications for being nominated to be a Hall of Famer, so I’m not sure just why we need this.

Have any of you folks out there ever been to the “Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame”?

If so, could you post here and tell me what you thought of it and why you like or dislike it?

I’m just curious!?!

Thanks!

Catch you later.
