Gone Fishin'

We've been out fishing a few times this week. My folks have a camper about a hour and a half away by several lakes that we like to frequent and there's also lakes around their house. June's a great time for fishing because it's not too hot yet and the fish are still active. Bridger's repritoire now includes blue gills, small-mouth bass, large-mouth bass, perch, crappies and a sea gull. That's right, on his first cast yesterday a gull came down and swooped up his minnow and got hooked. You don't really want to hear about what had to be done to "free" it. No walleyes yet, as he is sad to remark. He's starting to catch on, though he spends a lot of time playing with the minnows and nightcrawlers. When he his paying attention to his rod, he likes to reel it in and push the button to drop the line back in. Despite his lack of prowess, a few days ago in the boat he caught five fish before the rest of us even had a bite. Must be a natural.
