So I should have got a new boat a long time ago if I knew I could get my wife out while I fish. Well lesson learned as this afternoon my wife emails me to ask if her and the boys could go out in the boat while I fished. Hell no I said. You stay home. Ok so I didn't say that it was more like this... What?? Did you just see if you and the boys could go in the boat while fishing?? Yes she says. What's wrong with that? Ummm.. Nothing is wrong with that but you never wanted to before. Well you never had a real boat she says. Lol. So I guess we were fishing off of hunks of metal that floats for the last many years. So after picking myself off the floor I started to plan the trip. Where to fish?? I mean enjoy a nice eve with my family. Miss lake or Appleton. I do love miss lake but Appleton is my go to and it's a nice relaxing place in my life. Appleton it is. So 5:30 we get all packed and off to the boat launch. Get about to the golf course and realize I don't have the boat keys on me. #%?$. Turn around and decide to have some fun with boys to take the embarrassment off of me. So I turn around in the jeep and tell them we are going home and not going out. Well anyone with kids knows what happened next. Two boys very upset they didn't get to go out in the boat. Hahaha. Quick chuckle and keys picked up boat is launched and we are out for the first time ever as a family.
This is my youngest first pike. Was so excited about it. It's huge dad. HUGE!! lol. Next week it will be a ten pounder. That's my boy!!
Then two days ago my buddy and I got out for some bass and we had some hard times catching anything. It was Wednesday when we had the big changes in pressure and storms. Well once the rain stopped a black wacky worm was what got them to bite. Here is the biggest I got that eve.
May not be a big one but it was well worth it. Tough eve.
So this new boat may make me have to eat spam for dinner but heck having my family come out with me makes the spam taste like filet minion. Mmmmmm
Cheers.
Fishing isn't a matter of life and death....
It's much more important.
