Gone fishing

My mom took me fishing for an hour this morning before it got too hot. I caught a few fish. All on frozen corn and a bent hook. I fished until my hook finally broke off and my mom said it was time to go.

Fishing in the Gulf

The week before school started we went to visit my Baba who lives very close to the ocean. He hired a guide who took us out and put us on the fish. I really, really wanted to catch a flounder like everyone else, but maybe next time. I did catch some redfish, a Spanish mackerel and some bass.

Redfish: They aren't really red.Spanish mackerel, my coolest fish.

A good day at Butler Pond

My mom took me to Butler Pond today and in one hour I used up 24 dillies and caught 23 fish. Mostly cichlids and a couple of sunnies. It felt good to be catching after last week ... me and my dad took the boat to Fayette in the heat and got skunked. My mom said, "Should've gone to Butler." Usually if we go to other lakes and catch nothing my friend Rick says, "Should've gone to Fayette."
