ctranter Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Averie looks like an awesome fishergirl! In her short life she has already challenged my 23 years in fishing supremacy. Thanks for the heartfelt read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Boy does that ever bring back memories. First days of school were scary. Just remember Dad, you are the parent. If you and the daughter need a little extra together (fishing) time, then so be it. I was notorious for yanking the kids out for some prime father/ child time (So was my one uncle). The kids would be at school next day bragging at show and tell, and I'd be having another talk with the school principal to put him in his place. Besides, you can probably give your child a far better education about nature than some stuffed shirt in a classroom or another NFB reel.

BillsTheBassMan Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 That's a beauty post Ryan. You can rest assured that this bonding time you have spent with Averie will stick with her forever and that the two of you will always be best friends. She may find herself away from fishing for some time (I fished with my dad growing up, but went away from it for 6-8 years) but she'll always look at it fondly and it will always be something you've shared. Wish the little gal good luck on her first day from all the OFC'ers. Cheers, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Urban Fisherman Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hey Guys and Gals! Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. I thought of this post yesterday, because to day is the first day back for most kids, though for Averie this week she'll just be meeting her teacher and checking out the class room and such... next week is the big week! Thanks again all - have a good week in the office! Cheers, Ryan & Averie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again all - have a good week in the office! Cheers, Ryan & Averie My daughter is 4 and starting school next week. I hear you loud and clear, just seems like yesterday she was an infant and would pass out in the car seat on the way to Port Hope and I could get a couple hours fishing in(could park right beside me as I fished). Time sure does fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I forgot to say... Cherish every moment you have with them. Eventually comes the day when they begin to strike out on their own, the home feels emptier, and you feel older. I'm experiencing that event this year and would give anything to have a few more of those father child moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Awesome pics TJ! Thanks for posting them.... I meant to tell everybody to post their own! Cheers, Ryan I wish I could post some Ryan but unfortunately they are mostly in my memory bank...Nice that we have our digital cameras today...even the cheapies like mine ($93 Polaroid Digital from Home Hardware) take excellent pics... Way back when, it was expensive for film and developing (if you owned a camera)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Well Ryan, at least at school you don't have to worry about your buddies using her head as a beer holder! LOL She is a cute, responsible kid and I'm sure she'll #1 love school and #2 do very well at it. She might daydream about big fish once in a while though.. haha Great post dude.

seaman Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Amazing Report...My Girl is 11, and it seems like we went fishing for the first time yesterday.....I would say "cherish the moments while you can" as they grow up soooooo fast, but you already have that covered!! My Uncle used to say "A family that fishes together, stays together" Good on you!! Thanks, for a great read!!!
