Dad and I caught a few today

Finally managed to get out with Pops, we fished a Private (Interstate) Pond. We weren't able to get there until about 9:00AM, and fished until about 2:00PM. Bite was slow, but only tossed 2 small ones back, the rest were nice keepers. Very limited access around the pond due to all the cattails, and we were pretty much limited to one spot on the bank (since the owners won't allow boats).

Most of these were caught on crickets, but a couple hit beemoths, between 4-5 feet deep. Not a mess by any means, but enjoyed getting out with dad (who's 88) more than anything.

Nice!! Thats some gooduns

Nothing wrong with those!Thumbs Up I know you enjoyed the time fishing with your Dad too. Do that as much as you can in the future.:)

:fishCreating memories today you will treasure tomorrow. Enjoy every moment.

As long as pops is happy thats what matters, memorys last longer than fish fillets!

Looks like supper to me. I'm glad you were able to share the experience. Not many get to fish with their dad at 88. I sure miss my dad, wish we could have made a few more trips. You'll probably remember that longer than if you filled a boat alone.

I do, and that's why I'm trying to fish with him as much as I can. He still does pretty good for 88.

Nice fish. Glad to hear that you were able to spend time with your dad. I know that I miss mine.

Nice catch! Been a long time since i saw a wood yard stick.....:highfive

Good report and congrats on the catch and time spent fishing with your dad.

Great memories and a great day, don't get no better then that!!!!
