Fishing Friday

The boys wanted to go fishing this morning, and I happen to have a boat, rods, and bait  And a pond on the property.  So, we went fishing.

I couldn't find my fiberglass cane poles, so we went out with rod and reel.  The boys need to learn to operate a Zebco.

Learning to cast is a skill set that these young'uns need to learn.  They did okay the first time out.  The bot has been in the family since the '60s.  Originally, owned by my grandfather, it's part of his estate.  With these grandkids, five (5) generations of family has used this boat.

No one got hooked on a back-cast, and no one got injured.

The fifteen acre pond is the central fixture of the subdivision  Many of the neighbors have boats or docks.  It's an old gravel pit that filled with water after the gravel extraction was abandoned.  Nowadays it's filled with ducks, geese, old men and young boys fishing in it.  It supports a pretty good population of largemouth bass and bluegill bream.
