Took Dad Bream Fishing
Had my Dad meet me at the boat ramp at daylight this morning. He is 75 and his health is not real good so he only goes fishing if someone can go with him. Since he can't take the heat or cold very well and due to my work schedule the times we can go are limited. With 2 fishing poles and 100 crickets we hit the bayou. By 9:30 we were out of crickets. Pulled out a bottle of white crappie nibbles and fished about another hour. Had a really good time. He is already talking about going again soon. Told him I was available tomorrow, but he said he would probably be to stiff from sitting in the boat today to go tomorrow. Will get him back out soon....

There were 107 fish there. There were quite a few small ones, but those are the ones my dad likes. Fry them crispy and eat the whole thing. In fact I think he would have thrown the bigger ones back if I had not been with him...

Way to go. Good day with dad and good mess of fish. Congratulations. My wife is the same way with those small fish. Sure is easy to let her keep em, but some of them never see the crispy side of life, cause part of the small ones kept, somehow magically get taken and put on a circle hook for catfish.
Enjoyed seeing a good mess of fish.

I know you and your dad had a great time together. Nice catch.

Great catch, some of my best memories are wading the cool creeks with my father and my grandaddy. When we ran out of bait we got out of water and caught grasshoppers. If we did not catch grasshoppers or crawfish we could not fish. Look at us now. Hope you have many more fish with dad days.

Awesome............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a nice bunch of fish ya got there. Looks like you're going to have a good dinner. Spending time with your dad is the best part of the trip. Both of you will remember the good fishing days. WTG

My father is also 75 and we fish and camp together. Isn't it wonderful to be able to spend time with our fathers adn repay them for the time they spent with us when we were younger. I wish everyone could experience this wonderful feeling.
