Fishing Trip
Well another experience with a 1977 bass boat lead to another "interesting" fishing trip. My son and I had been fishing for about five minutes when the trolling motor stopped working. We pulled out to the main river below Wheeler Dam where we could drift fish and I started working on the boat while my son was fishing.
The trolling motor did not get repaired on the fishing trip so we spent the remainder of the trip drift fishing and were able to pick up a few bream and a catfish. It seems that fishing trips are growing more and more adventurous.
We had fun and were able to spend some quality time fishing which is the main reason we go. I love the song by Trace Atkins, "Fishing" and it pretty much sums up why I going fishing with my son. It will not be long before I take my little girl on the boat with us, and that will certainly be an adventure.

HOT
It has been very hot in North Alabama and we have had a little trouble coaxing the fishing into taking out bait. It is difficult not to jump in the water instead of throwing a bait and waiting on the fish to bite.
Even though the fish haven't been tearing it up, the time spent with my son on the river is time well spent. There is always the constant struggle to keep everything on the boat in good working condition, but that is what you get when you have a 1977 boat.
The trip to and from the water are fun because we always seem to listen to some good music picked out by my son of course and we seem to listen to a lot of Johnny Cash which is fine with me. Any time spent with you children is time well spent and when it involves being in the great outdoors is just icing on the cake.

Fishing
I have been able to spend a little time fishing with my son. We haven't caught a lot of fish, but we have had loads of fun. We have been doing a little creek fishing as well as fishing on the Tennessee River. We have most caught small bream in either location and that is fine with him, which makes it fine with me.
The time spent outdoors with someone you love is time well spent. It is wonderful to see him enjoying fishing, and observing wildlife as we search for some fish. It is truly a blessing and although I don't get to spend nearly as much time as I would like, every minute is precious.

Fishing Time
I finally was able to do a little fishing with my son and my father. It was truly a great time and we even caught a few fish. We caught several kinds of fish including catfish, smallmouth, largemouth, and several species of bream.
We started fishing for catfish and didn't do very well, but as we switched gears began to catch several fish including catfish even though we had switched to artificial bates and weren't expecting to catch catfish.
The main source of enjoyment was spending time with family doing things we truly enjoyed. Although I don't get to spend as much time fishing as I would like, every fishing trip is special. Hopefully, it will not be as long between fishing trips as the summer progresses.
