horst Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Saturday I took the whole family out to a kids fishing derby in the next town.It ran from 8:30 till 2:30 .We signed in, found a place to fish, and at about 8:40 the baby Joey decided fishing sucked so he waded out about chest deep in the lake We got him back to shore and resumed fishing.It was really, really slow at first.My wife left to take my daughter to find a bathroom and about then her bobber went under, my son grabbed her pole and caught a 1lb 8 oz catfish.It wasnt till later in the day we started catching fish, apparently they were all hanging out in about 1 ft of water right off shore and we had been casting over them the whole time.By weigh in time the kids had 2 stringers, with bullheads, catfish, bluegill, crappie, and 1 bass on them to weigh in. Things turned out good, Shaylee my daughter took first place in the bullhead catagory for her age bracket and Austin my 9 yr old took first place in his age bracket for biggest stringer.Joseph just enjoyed his swim and spent the rest of the day crying and saying Bye-Bye every tme I put a fish on the stringer and put em back in the lake It was a lotta fun and the kids got some neat trophies to add to thier growing collection You can see in this picture Joeys not happy he didnt get his own trophy for standing in the water and splashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
