It's Monday, and I had planned to take my cousins Sam and Dom fishing after work. It was storming most of the afternoon and in my head, the chances of us fishing were out the window. I text my Aunt informing her that I don't think I'll be coming by to take the boys fishing.
When I finally got off of work there was light rain, but the skies to the west were all gray. Once I arrived at home, I received a text message from my cousin Sam that read "We can still go fishing..."...and after a quick glance outside at the dark skies in the West, I said to hell with it, and told him that I was going to pick him and his brother up shortly.
When we arrived to the lake, there was a steady drizzle of rain, but no thunder or lightening, so, we were all good to fish. The boys didn't mind the rain. They were just so excited to get out and fish. Awesome!
We all hooked up with fish. My cousin Sam (Grey shirt) was the first to hook up, and he ended up with 2 on the day. Dom (Orange shirt) caught 3, and ended up with 2 sunnies and 1 small bass.
It was really awesome to see how excited they were to get out and fish with me. I'm hoping to take them out more and more before the cold weather arrives.
I ended up hooking up with a decent sized bass on a top water lure. I was doing a lot more coaching than fishing, but that was A-okay with me. I really wanted them to hook up with some bigger fish. I know they will eventually. They were super excited to see the big bass I caught.
...but they were also quick to remind me that they were up on me in the fish count numbers.
- Dom - 3
- Sam - 2
- Juice (My family nickname) - 1
When the mosquitoes were too much to handle, we packed it up, and I treated my cousins to some cheese curds and ice cream from Culvers....a dinner of champions. Ha
Always a good time when it's family time!
