Thread: FISHING WITH THE GRANDSONS

I thought the fishing was over for a while due to the heat. However, I got a call from two of the grandsons who wanted to go fishing. Heat or no heat I couldn't turn that down. They spent the night with us and we got up early and put in at Sugar Creek just after 6:00. These boys are first cousins and they had spent the past two weeks together in Peachtree City at my youngest son's house. The bite was slow at first and we caught several small fish. Around 9:00 Tyler landed a fine crappie which was over 15 inches long. He also landed a huge blue catfish (which I held for him in the picture). Not to be outdone Cole (it was Cole's 13th Birthday) landed a huge trash fish pictured below. I don't know if it was a hybrid or striper. The bite continued and we finished the day with 20 keepers at 1:00. We also missed several good fish right at the net. It was like off-shore fishing by noon due to the jet skis, wake boarders and everything else. The boys had a great time and so did I. What a blessed day.
