We don't get out as much as we used to - so it is important to go when we can. We spent about 8 hrs on the water, couple were spent soaking mullet in a big trout hole with nothing to show for it, other than a "we shoulda been here a couple weeks/months ago". Had a couple dolphins come thru and they went tearing up in a cove about 1/2 mile away - dad said there's fish there, let's work our way over. So we did. He got a 20-inch trout and a 30-inch red over there. I managed a 14 inch trout on the way and had 1/2 dozen half hearted strike son a zara spook. Couple hours later we moved on to a "spot" that usually treats me nice and I got a pair of 18 inchers and a 24 inch sail cat. Threw back a couple more short trout. Little while later we were packing up and did the "last cast" and dad got an almost 19 inch trout to fill out our trout limit. A nice day on the water with my old man.   |

Best report today! Great you and your dad caught some!
I remember many years ago skulling our small wooden boat along the undeveloped shoreline of a small favorite lake. Dad was casting top water and caught 12 bass. He kept saying son you better start fishing and I kept saying you’re doing fine, and I’m enjoying perfecting my guide skills. It was one of the best “last days” on the water w him.

It was one of the best “last days” on the water w him. Amen to that. My dad started me fishing as soon as I could walk - there are photos of me in diapers holding up fish. He's stopped hunting anything other than ducks and won't hunt anywhere but MINWR cause it is close to home. Just can't get as many permits as we'd like. Last year got 0 so we didn't hunt. Really enjoys getting out fishing, just have to take it easy on any waves as it hurts if I pound across even small waves. When he woke me up at 8 with breakfast ready yesterday - I knew it was a day for fishing. |

Interesting how life rolls around in a circle that way as we become that one who does the taking along............well done! |
