Time to Fish...


I really have not fished much in the past few years. As a child and teenager, I fished often with my father and brother. This year I am really looking forward to fishing. 

This year is different for me, because of my son. He is more interested in fishing now that he has his own fishing pole and tackle box. G will be 4 in a few weeks, so he understands more than he did last year. I just love being outside with my husband and son and seeing G experience new things. Fishing is the first outdoor activity we will be able to do as a family. It brings back memories of fishing with my dad and my brother as a toddler. We will have to wait a few more years to take him big game hunting. 

My husband went fishing on opening day of trout season (although he was not fishing for trout). I was hoping to get out last Sunday but the weather did not cooperate. It was a bit to chilly to be out on the lake, so we went 4 wheeling instead. This weekend we are so busy. I have a bridal shower, a baby shower and a bachelorette party on Saturday. Sunday is a 3D turkey shoot at our local archery club and our archery league banquet in the afternoon. Did I also mention, Saturday is opening day for Spring Gobbler.

So, I have to put fishing on hold for a few more days. Maybe one night next week or next Sunday we will get to go out.  Since I haven't really fished much in the last few years, my tackle box is empty. So I have been shopping for some new fishing hooks, bobbers, jigs and lures. I think I will shop for a new tackle box also. A soft one that has a shoulder strap, easier to carry.

Have you went fishing this year?
What is your favorite fish to catch?
What is your favorite lure?
