The boys wanted to go fishing again so went down after supper.It was very slow to say the least.In the 2 hours we were there only caught 2 bass and had very few hits/nibbles.Chalk it up to one of those days I guess.Here are a couple of pics of the fish I caught. Needless to say the boys got really bored and went off playing as you can see in the pic. Ethan really enjoys watching the bats fly around at dusk and it was a pretty calm night so it was at least nice to get out for a bit.All in all a pretty slow evening for the boys

so sorry to hear,he is too young.My thoughts go out

very nice

that is too funny

wow,wtg on the pb.

nice fish,congrats

good report and some nice fish,congrats

great fish,congrats.Love the swim away shot

Well,we went down after supper to try our luck.Tyler would be up first an after over an hour of waiting I finally hook into a carp.I hand him the rod and this fish went on a run that used up close to 100 yards of line.It was a big fish for sure.Here is a pic of Tyler holding on. He was trying to reel this big fish in way too fast.I kept telling him to slow down and let the fish tire out.He didn't listen and sure enough,SNAP! He got all upset and said sorry for losing the fish.I told him I didn't care if he lost the fish but in the future to listen to advice.We will put that under lesson learned.Next up was Ethan who kept saying he didn't want a big fish,lol.I had a hit and handed him the rod.He reeled in this bass on his own. If it looks like he is backing away from the fish it is because he was.Every time I tried to get it near him for a pic he would freak out saying it would smack him like my sucker did a little while back.Oh, well. As for dad.I caught a couple,nothing big. The carp fishing was pretty slow tonight but these little bass would not stop stealing our bait.It got dark so we packed up and went home.There is always next time.

good to hear you guys had fun and you are welcome

Gimby,we get bows right up to the dam in town and trout up the Nith. Mo,thanks to a very generous member of this board Tyler will be getting a much better reel so hopefully can get those doubleheader shots for you.

great shot

Well.after catching his first carp last night Tyler wanted to try again so we went down at 7:00 in the morning.Was only 2*C out so it was just a little chilly out.This was our view when we got there. It was dad's turn first and after about 20 minutes I caught this little guy. We didn't get anything else after that but he said that was okay as we can try again after supper and after school tomorrow.I think I have Tyler hooked on carp fishing now as well.On a side note,when fishing last night we saw another bow caught and today there were a lot of fly fishermen on the river so I am assuming the run is on.Will have to try for trout this week.

too bad the fishing was tough but at least you got out and got some

congrats on your first 2,good job
