hockeyplayerz_14 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) I first started fishing when I was a kid and my dad loved fishing. A few years later my dad and I would always go to his favourite lake Rice Lake. We used to rent boats out of Sandercoks marina. After he saw that I had a great passion for the sport he bought a boat. The first boat was not a fishing boat and he came to realize that he wanted to trade it in for better fishing boat. We only had this boat for about a month and he bought a fishing boat with 100hp on the back of it. We love it. After that he knew he wanted a piece of land somewhere so what he did was looking at a place in Lagoon City and wanted to buy something. He came close but did not buy . A few years later he bought a trailer. It is okay I guess. This past winter we got really into ice fishing. We started of with a hut operator, and then walked out with no shelter, hand auger, and a few things that I forgot about . My dad ended up buying an ATV, 4 Man hut. Gas Auger And a portable fish finder in less than a month. That’s when you know your dad cares. Recently he just bought a piece of land on Lagoon City . I can’t wait. Now this is why I wrote this. I have my boater’s license so I can drive a boat. My dad is buying me a 12ft boat with a gas motor on the back. How cool is this, that I have my own boat at the age of 14. When I am older I know I will have to repay this off so I better get to know the spots so I can win the big money some day Edited June 20, 2009 by fishman2202
motv8tr Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Yup, that's a great dad allright I used to have a trailer at Sandercocks, lots of my family did as a matter of fact, it's a good area for fishing. Be smart in the boat and don't take chances, and don't forget to take your dad fishing from time to time Oh, and be sure to treat him really well tomorrow ... Maureen
motion Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Sandercocks has never been the same since Bod passed away a few years ago. I have a lot of memories fishing there with my kids. Now they are growing up and sharing with my love of the sport. That's what being a dad is all about, enjoying what you love with your kids. I hope they will share with me that passion for years to come. Cheers. fishman2202's dad (Tony)
Governator Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) You obviously love your dad and he sounds like a great father. I hope you thought about something from the heart for Father's day tomorrow, he deserves it. A year from now will be my first Father's Day and I can't wait! First year I've ever wished for a fast summer (Bring on Sept). Edited June 20, 2009 by Governator

Rice Lake was where I also learned to fish, got my first and biggest Bass there with my now step-father, it was 1 1/2 lbs....very long time ago Maureen
HTHM Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 Make sure that you show this to him. Us Dads don't always show it, but we LOVE appreciation. It shows us that we are doing our job right.
Fishnwire Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 It's nice to see you appreciate everything he does for you. Some kids seem to think that their parents are obligated to give them everything they ask for.
motion Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 Make sure that you show this to him. Us Dads don't always show it, but we LOVE appreciation. It shows us that we are doing our job right. I couldn't think of a better way for him to show me how much I really mean to him. He really makes me proud. What a nice surprise for father's day. Makes me wish my dad was still around. He meant a great deal to me and I think back and wonder if he knew that...................
Jonny Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 How cool is this, that I have my own boat at the age of 14. When I am older I know I will have to repay this off so I better get to know the spots so I can win the big money some day You're lucky, like I was, and your heart's in the right place! Although you probably used it just as a figure of speech, I would just say that you don't have to repay your dad in any monetary way. Just make sure that when you're on your own, and your dad is older, that you take him fishing. You're not likely to be thinking about this now, but tuck it in the back of your mind - when you have kids, and take your dad fishing with his grandkids, that will be heaven for him. That will be the best "payment" of all.
motion Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 I'll take time fishing with him over money anyday. You cant buy that kind of love.
GBW Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Good to hear (about the boat) And being a father of a 5 and 2 year old the best thing that you can do to "pay him back" is treat your dad with respect as he is giving you a whole lot of respect by providing you with these things. Enjoy and may your next fish be a trophy...
Twocoda Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 respect the material things he provides ....cherish the time the two of you spend together using them ...
