Fishing Trip




Wow, what can I say...Joel and I took the boys fishing on Saturday at Lake Higgins. Justin is very into fishing rods; basically any gizmo/gadget, but his pawpaw got him a new rod for his birthday and we wanted to try it out...well, the whole fishing thing that is!

We checked in to the marina and the guy waived our pier fishing costs (for some reason)?? maybe he just wanted to be super nice b/c he knew what "fun" we were about to get into (haha)

We bought a container of worms for 2.75 (bryan asked for the small worms) and headed to the pier. The rains from the hurricane had just cleared and it was a bright sunny day. Only one other man on the pier, so not much competition. I was ready to have fun....because i LOVE to fish. The boys just kept casting their lines and reeling them in...a fish wouldn't have had time to even see the worm. And, their hook would get wrapped around the end of the rod tip and I kept getting called to help. I just wanted to fish. So, I helped and it continued happening. Then, they were happy to watch me a little and i snagged the smallest bream for Justin to reel in. Joel has very sensitive skin and burns like toast, so he gave me a 15 minute notice to wrap it up...so, we looked at the other man's load of fish in his bucket and gave him our container of worms and called it a day (err..an hour). We made memories, but remember, I LOVE to fish...so, i'll go back one day on my own :) shhhh!

Hi! Found your blog from facebook! I definitely like my blog more than fb, but oh well. I am going to link your blog to mine, if that is ok? Also, Frank loves taking the boys fishing. I enjoy going, but I am finally learning to just join the boys, if you can't beat em right? Glad to hear that Bryan's first day went well!

Patty,

How fun. I still cannot believe you have two boys. I will love looking at your blog. We will have to get together when we are in NC sometime.
