    Default My Fan Club


    Some of the charter members of my fan club were in town this week. I had to work so Mom got to spend lots of time with them and they all had a grand old time. I made plans to take my number one Guppy and the Bluegillgirl out before it got hot. We plan, God laughs. My 8am scheduled leave time turned into more like 11. Did I mention its hot out? But worms in hand we set out, not planning on going very far. Plain jig and a float and some worms should be a winning ticket. We set up in my spot that I thought would hold enough to fit the bill, nada. Having to stay in the shade as best I could so guppy didn’t get to hot with her vest on, the kid never said a word. Finally got out of current and near some pads and her float went south, fast. Got her in contact and gave her some coaching, but this was no baby bluegill. A good coppernose went around the neighborhood a couple of times before we got him to cooperate. Easy 8” fish could have been part of a good dinner. She asked if we could take it home and eat it for dinner, and was disappointed when I said that we’d let these go cuz I already had fish thawed for dinner. So we rewormed and pitched back in and didn’t have to wait long, this one a bigger cousin of the last and they really had an attitude! We totaled 5 of these in short order with the last one being a little feller that got an early release as we pulled out. Twice while we were trying our best we had a deputy boat cruise by slow like and while they didn’t inspect us, I could Feel us and the boat getting looked over. I’d been looking forward to this all week and had a ball, and guppy is becoming a good hand in the boat. She’s growing up fast and is quick to pick up what you show her. Home a little later I found out that her shirt was wet from where she had been sweating in the vest. She never said a word, must have wanted to catch those fish more than we thought she did. Early or don’t go next time. Got a nap and cooked fish and hushpuppies later and that kid ironed out a big plate and got some seconds. Her likes some fish! It’s been a great visit but they had to head back this morning, both mom and I commented on the quiet house. Hope to see em again soon. Thanks for going along with us, it was a fun but short trip. Maybe I’ll see you out there soon, til then..... Skeet

    Very nice read brother skeet. It sounds like a great family time on the water for sure... and a little one that's just gettin' dialed in to a huge love of fishin' (following in the footsteps of her mother) with grandpa every chance she gets.
    I know you wish you could do it more often, but for the chunk of distance between residences. Hopefully something will change in the future so that ya'll can enjoy more times like this. Thanks for sharing.

    Great pics and story, thanks for sharing. Love seeing the fishing tradition being passed down to a new generation. And wow, they do raise that bridge. I can see why.
