Mike the Pike Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) Was working hard around the house today doing some landscaping shovelling alot of dirt when the Rain started to kick in.I shovelled until the earth became mud.The outdoor chores came to an end.Went inside and Ryan my 8 year son asked to go fishing in the pouring rain.He didn't take long to convince me adding that I was away without him last weekend fishing the Bay of Quinte and it was his turn.I quickly realized that at 8 years old he is addicted to fishing more than his oldman rain was not stopping him from a quick fish fix.Looking at the boat which was not ready to go I offered to take him shore fishing for a couple of hours.We quickly grabbed a couple rods and tackle boxes rain coats and boots and were good to go.Went to get my camera but realized the wife had borrowed my Canon for the day.Ah plan B borrow my daughters HP digital.Thankfully I had DIGI back up.Next was the net and I have learned from CCMT to never forget the net Here are some pics from tonight the little guy enjoyed his evening Fishing was a little slow in the beginning saw a couple of beavers swim into their den. The patient little Man The results Rock Bass on steroids. I thought 007 's report had the largest rock bass I have ever seen until tonight. Next it was my turn phew I just avoided the skunking and 11 inches for team #4 The Canon would have picked up those measurements. Oh caught one of these for my boat a chunky boat fender, The ride home the last piece of a peanut butter cup. Another great outing for my boy MIKE THE PIKE Edited May 28, 2007 by Mike the Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya gotta love it when the young'uns wanna go fishin', I think it builds character in young people and they're less likely to get into mischief.

ccmtcanada Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Great report Mike..and glad to hear that you have learned from MY mistakes...LOL. I think it's awesome that your son is into fishing as much as he is. I love sitting back and watching my little one cast, wait, set the hook and reel in all by herself...I esp love the look on other kids faces when she hauls in fish...haha. Beauty Rock bass pics too...those are huge that's for sure...great job guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikehunter Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 A good day fishing for sure When the little ones tell you it's time to go fishing ya gotta go! There will be a day when you are standing there wanting to go fishing yourself bugging him to go fishing and he won't want to. Unfortunately this will probably happen so take every opportunity that comes along when you get it. Great set of pics and a monster rocky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 It is amazing when no matter how much there is to do our children will convince us to do something that makes not only them happy but us as well. They are brilliant beyond their years. You and Ryan look like you had a wonderful time together ... nice fishing! Cheers Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Sweet mother of pearl that's a big rock bass. Haven't seen one that big since I was a kid (weren't they all that big 30 years ago, or did they just seem that big?). Either way, when that rocker goes in to the death spiral you've got a fight on your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
