This past saturday John, Cousin Adam, and I woke up before the sun to hit Vivan Park Pond and terrorize some fish. Well the sun didn't make it over the mountain as fast as I thought it would, and the only thing that got terrorized were some Water Skeeters. The kids did get a kick out of a dog that was roaming the park. He had found a box of almost full velveta cheese by one of the trees and decided to make a snack of it while the kids watched and giggled.
John and Adam had a great time though, casting in the water, and both had a great time seeing who could pull out the biggest "green" or, as Adam called them, "spinach" fish. The pond was full of weeds and gunk. Eventually I had both boys, after Adam tried just about every other lure I had, casting small Rapalas. Adam didn't get but maybe a nibble or two. John got one great bite, but didn't set his hook in time. A bit later John brought in the first fish of the day, a pretty little 10" Rainbow trout that he was so proud of. He's turning into a great little angler.
I think we'll have to go out again with cousin Adam and see what we can terrorize before he leaves for Okinawa with his family.
