Mark,
Sorry 'bout your computer, that's a bummer!
Yes grandkids are a lot of fun. Ours are only 3 and 4 years old, but our son takes the 4 year old fishing close to where they live in the Kansas City area. He is getting to really like to fish, best thing they both like is to do is to 'throw the fish back in the water'.
Yes, the wind has been just horrible. Had to hang on to the little ones so they wouldn't be blown off the dock and too windy to take them out in the boat.
Did not even fish Sunday as I played in a golf outing, weather was fantastic!
Sounds like fishing has slowed a bit. We had a 2-person limit this weekend of 11" and better, and this has been the best fishing for quality crappie since we have been down here.
