Love To Fish!!
PostedI wasn't going to go fishing today. I had to get the financial report ready for our church business meeting tonite. I also had to prepare something for the meal so I figured fishing was out for today. I had just finished the report and ate my lunch. And...............around 3pm my sister-in-law calls and says they are biting. Well, that's all it took for Ritzywife. Told her I'd see her in a few minutes.
I got down there and caught 2 two-pounders right off. They were big!!!!! I told her I was going to have to figure out something that would not take any time to fix for the supper tonite,(if i even went, haha!!).....
Well, around 5:30 I called my son, and asked if he wanted to come down there to take my spot and I would return after church was over. He came down there, I left at 6pm (church starts at 7), came home (only a half a mile away, thank goodness) changed clothes, threw some Schwan's fried rice in the microwave for 6 minutes and wa-la....I have a dish for tonite.
After church, I went back down there and the fish were still biting pretty good. It started to get dark and no one wanted to leave. My brother, sister-in-law, & nephew were down there, along with her dad and step-brother. My son and I also. These weren't small crappie we were pullin in either....
The spot we were fishing was on around the bank from where I have been fishing the last month.
As you can see in the picture, they are pretty good size. I put my (dirty) hand beside them to compare..
We stayed, everyone got out their lights, the sister-in-law's dad pointed his truck toward the lake and turned on his lights, haha!!!!
We started to hear thunder in the distance, but at 9:30 we started to notice the lightning in the south. We all loaded up right before the rain hit.
The son and I got home, took care of the minnows and cleaned the fish. While I cleaned the fish, Matt took pictures of the pretty light show.
Don't know if I will be going tomorrow, I'll have to wait and see how the weather is. Fishing tomorrow nite is out tho, because the daughter's boyfriend wants us all to watch a John Wayne movie together. That sounds like fun to me. I like John Wayne.....
For now.........Ritzywife is out...............
