Spring Time

I have been waiting for spring for quiet some time. I love to hunt, but I would have to say fishing is my favorite. One thing that makes fishing fun is being able to talk and have some good quality time with the people with which you fish. I have had the pleasure of fishing with my son for several years and now I am getting to do a little fishing with my daughter.

My son can now do several things for himself and truly loves to fish and it is amazing how much he has changed since we started taking our little excursions. He enjoys fishing and has gotten to the point that he enjoys it even if the fish aren't biting. When he was little we did other things to amuse him when the fish were biting a little slowly. We would throw things in the water, explore the shore or do other things that would help pass the time. Now he is able to sit and fish even when the fish have "lock jaw."

My daughter is still at the point she needs a little entertainment when we are fishing. She loves to talk so that fills the gaps between bites and can be quiet amusing. Since being "stuck" by a fish earlier this year, she is a little hesitant, but her bravery is increasing with each trip.

The best part about all the fishing trips is the Camaraderie we have while we are fishing. I truly cherish the time I spend with my children because unfortunately the time is not nearly enough and I know they will be growing up too quickly.
