FISHING

I got the kids fishing rods before they came.  Spiderman for the boys and Frozen for little Elsa.  We gave them to them yesterday and they practiced their casting.  They took a few minutes but they soon had it down pat.  The boys are naturals and Elsa is pretty good too.  Today, they went out on the water.  Rejean took Charlie out with a floating lure on the Spiderman rod.  They were out for about 1/2 hour and caught a small bass and then a beautiful walleye.  He reeled them in all by himself and he was so proud and excited.  I took Elsa out but put a hook and split shot and a worm on her Frozen rod.  I also pushed the barb down.  It took 2 minutes from the time we left the dock to the time the fish was in the boat.  Another beautiful walleye and she reeled it in all by herself as well.  She was done and didn't want to fish anymore.  Mission accomplished!!  Just saying the girls know how to fish and what to use for bait to get the job done.  Ha ha.  Monty was sleeping during all the excitement so he gets his turn tomorrow.  So much fun to see kids get their first fish and the excitement and joy in their faces.  Almost as much joy and excitement in my face.  They are hooked for life!!
