Girls' first time fishin'

We tried out the kids' fishing pond down by Twin on Memorial Day. The girls were excited to go fishing, so they did hold unto their poles for most of the time. Until something started messing with it and then it was a quick hand-off!

We weren't there very long before something was messing with Hannah's hook, bobber was bobbin' about. Rodney was busy getting Nicole's pole ready, so Hannah and I reeled it in to make sure the worm was still there.

Yup, this fella took it - hook and all! Since it was hooked somewhere inside, Rodney just cut the line and we let him go. Guess we should've made sure to keep the line away from the shore. Never crossed our minds there would be turtles at the spot.

This girl was quite enamoured with the worms:

Girls kept wanting to move. Hardly get the lines in and they were ready for the next spot.

Got to the end of the pond and we finally had some action. Or else we were there long enough for the action to start. :) Wasn't too long and Hannah's bobber went down. After a quick hand-off to Dad, they reeled in a nice trout. While they were busy getting that one off the hook, Nicole's bobber went down. Nicole's fish was a big momma trout. Should've threw her back in 'cause as soon as we reeled her in, she was squirtin' out eggs.

Hannah kept a safe distance away at the beginning

Hannah needed a potty break and by the time we got back, Nicole had caught another one. That worm was good for 2 fish and could've used 'em again, but it was time to go. Headed home and had a fish fry that night.
