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!!!)

Back to Butler

My favorite pond was low for a while so it could be cleaned. It's refilled and good as ever! I caught 11 fish on lures and one on bait. I was casting and reeling and we had lots of fun!

River Monsters!

Yesterday my sister surprised me with a book about my favorite fishing show and fishing star, Jeremy Wade. This book is awesome. And so is his show. Definitely worth checking out!

3 days in Fayette last week

As usual, fishing at Fayette was so fun and I could have stayed for 5 more days, even though we pretty much ran out of food. We caught a lot of fish! I finally got skunked on my last day at Fayette. But that was mostly because my mom made us hurry home so I could play in my baseball game. Which was super good because I did my very best at third base and won a star for being the "best defensive player of the game" and it made me so happy! Now I have three stars! And these are a few of the fish I caught:
