Night Fishing...

Still trying to catch up on pictures from the past week or so of activities. Had an extra day off from work on Tuesday so we decided to give my new Father's day gift, a green fishing light a try last Monday night. The green light attracts bait fish which is supposed to attract crappie.

I fished crappie and Cathy fished catfish. She had the only results with several nice channels like this. I was skunked. I think I lost one fish at the boat. Guess I have forgot how to fish for the crappie. The several locations we tried are old community hole type spots that my dad and his brothers used to fish and they have usually been good for a few fish, but not on this night. Anyway, the lake was nice at night, the green light pretty and with 100 degree temps we will try again.

We fished about 7 till midnight and on arriving home I just pulled the boat into the front yard to be backed into the stall in daylight. Mary arose for school, did not see the boat in the stall. I am peacefully sleeping and my cell phone rings. I answer and she says "Where are Ya'll?" I reply, "In my room, asleep."

It's tough around here on the last child left at home, keeping tabs on aging parents, making sure they come home, don't get lost on the lake, remember to dress appropriately, wear sunscreen and such.
