ccmtcanada Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well, today marked our family opener for zone 17. We were not able to leave to begin our fishing until after 2:00pm, so we decided on trying for some fish from shore, instead of launching the boat up in the Kawarthas. The little pond we fish at is stocked with panfish every year. I was hoping that a bunch of them had survived the extended winter we had. Anyhow, we were armed with fishing rods for everyone, worms and snacks...the recipe for a nice family fishing day. The only thing that could be better was if we got into a few fish. I took the little one around to different spots to see if we could get into some nice little fishies, and it wasn't long before she caught her first fish of the year. She has a new rod this year....graduated from the barbie rod to a little 5 footer. She cast her line out and as soon as it hit the water, a fish took hold of it. I know these are out of season, so a very quick picture and it goes back in. She was very proud of her catch...her first bass! She caught a few more...little sunfish like these guys here... Our oldest finally landed her first fish of the year!! Bly was employing her best new tactics to pulling out monsters from puddles. Here's a pic of her perfecting her presentation.... Finally...not to be outdone, she lands this monster. Ounce for ounce, this fish tested her skill to the maximum level. Here's a pic of our oldest...practising her casting... My youngest and I decided to go for a little walk. There's a little trib nearby and she declared that she was the leader, so off we went. She wanted to touch the water and I took this pic.... One final pic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Runner Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Very nice photos there CCMT. Some of those should go in a frame, entitled, "My family outfishing me, as usual." lol. Did I miss it? You did not catch anything? Great for the kids to get out and enjoy the outdoors. You are an awsome parent. Congrats to the family. You...better luck next time, lol. reefrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
