Thread: Dads Birthday Trip

My dad turns 84 this week and we thought we would take Advantage of the unseasonably cool weather and go out on Beaver for a while this morning.We arraigned to leave my house for the for the lake at 5:30 (he was there at 5:15 in True Dad Fashion) He used to take me when I was little and it was the greatest thing ever to me. I'm happy to take him now. He has a little trouble getting in and out if the boat due to his knees being worn out by The Marine Corps and raising Watermelons, Pumpkins and Apples for 60+ years so we don't get to go often. Weather was calm and cloudy to start and he caught a 16" Crappie as soon as his Bandit reached crushing depth of 14 Ft. Fish were scattered and we ended up with a "Lucky Thirteen" Keepers. We header back to the ramp at 10:00 with plans to try it again soon.
