Thanks everyone. Yep its always a hoot when I get the chance to relive some of lifes experiences through the eyes of my grandkids.. Yep these little ones is what its all about. And of course, I get a fair share of exerice while doing so, so its all good.
IFG.. Yep, he hung out all day. Btw, maybe you need to ask him to teach ya his secret jiggin' technique. Better yet, I'll tell ya how it works but dont tell him I told ya. First grab a baggie of cookies, then grab the butt end of your fishing rod so the tip is facing anywhere but in front of you. Next shove in as many cookies in your pie hole as it can handle at any given time. Once the sugar high has taken effect, and your bouncing off the walls of the shanty, you've got the technique fairly well worked out.. lol..
BigCat.. Yeah it makes for a fun day. When we turned off the highway and headed towards the marina my G-laddy looked out the windshield and asked "wheres Strawberries at Strawberries lake?" When I pointed towards the cap and said, thats where we're going to be fishing, he tells me, "Grampa theres to much snow for the fishes here", and from that point forward things got better and we spend the day "fishing in them circles". Next time I take a mini me I'll take my 5 year old grandson. He and his G-pa will be sneekin' out soon (possibly next Monday, weather permitting)..
3M.. No doubt about it, it was a blast! The determination on his face while grinding away on the reel handle made for some great photo opps but you know how well I and a camera, or radio, usually get along,, LOL!! Thank god for cam's with self timers and the arm of a fold up chair, LOL!! As far as whether he's possibly a better fisherman than you or I, well, its my guess its somehow connected to a baggie of cookies..
Ron.. Yeah the old sled is still leading the train.. It aint to pretty but nor am I so we get along pretty good..
You know me, I like to go loaded for bear when ever possible because I never know when the urge to stay through the night might strike me, lol.. Of course with the laddy along yesterday that wasnt a possiblity but extra space means I have room for all those extra needs when a little one makes the run.. Yep to bad you couldnt make the trip to Dah Berry yesterday with us but it sounds like E treated ya pretty good too.
Yep,,, it was all good and theres no doubt about it, fishing with me little ones seems to drop my BP a few points and helps smooth off my rough edges a little because I know the day is theirs, not mine...
