Fishing with Weldon

My dad surprised me with a fishing trip to Fayette the day after Easter. He carried me out to the car at 4 in the morning and told me we were going fishing. We went with Rick and a guide who baited all the hooks and took care of everything. Together we caught 39 catfish! Then I had to hurry home to play my baseball game!

2 more at Butler

My mom said we would only have one hour to fish before swimming lessons today and I said LETS DO IT! I caught 2 sunnies and fished out the cane pole after it went over the edge. I also spotted that big orange koi again today ... oooh he's so sneaky!The lures with the treble hooks are a little tricky to take out, but my mom hardly poked herself this time before we were able to set the little fish free.

Butler Pond with my mom

My mom and I went Butler Pond today and I caught 2 nice looking sunnies.This big koi was swimming all around us ...We used lures on this trip and they work pretty well. It's just tricky to figure out what they're biting on each day.

2 days in a row at Butler ...

... Just like the old days! (And loving it!!!)
