ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Well my plans for fishing sure did take a turn today. Chasing Bull Redfish through the surf turned into a day of Daddy rigging tackle, baiting hooks, dehooking fish, answering questions and well... Being a Daddy. Steve's Farm, pay to fish catfish ponds, Walnut Hill, FL. Fish in a barrel, its what I call catching at catfish ponds.And its definitely catching and not fishing, but for a couple of kids it makes for a priceless afternoon.HAH! Priceless, there's a joke, my entrance fee was $15.00 for catch and release and the kids were free.The fish were $2.10 per # and we took home 30#s of fish, plus bait, snack/drinks and gas... Well, you do the math.But yeah, the day was priceless for my baby girl & I together. She caught the most fish, the biggest fish and was a hoot to watch and encourage.Her biggest fish experience to date has been a good sized Bream, she was screaming when the first cat hit her rod.It was a nice 4#Channel and you'd thought it was eating her alive. LMAO!Then later she caught our biggest kitty of the day, a 6.5#By the end of the day she was an ol'pro and slamming them.Nathaniel came with us too... Did I mention that this was actually his 10th Birthday Fishing Trip?He turns ten on the 11th/Veterans Day Ten years, where does the time go.It was his choice, fishing the catfish farm or a new hay bale archery target.He thought it was just gonna be Daddy and him as usual, but I brought lil'sister and he wasn't really keen on the idea.His bi#!*ing gave him some bad mojo for the day, his rod was barely touched, he resorted to grabbing my rod at every opportunity.No pics as usual of fish on our cleaning table, it was raining when we got home to clean'em. 16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I love the taste of good catfish! My wife and kids always enjoyed catching a lot more than fishing! Look's like they had a great time! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dogster 577 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Good on ya, man. That quality time is priceless. Some men fish their entire life without ever learning it ain't the fish they really after. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some men fish their entire life without ever learning it ain't the fish they really after. Like I tell people about surf fishing and shore based sharking... If your not happy to just be on the beach, sand between your toes, enjoying the sun and listening to the ocean, then this isn't for you, cause catching a fish/shark is just a bonus prize. This holds for fishing almost anywhere, it is the leisure time, the time with nature, the carefree not a damned thing on my schedule time. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Nemo 882 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Grandpa was the biggest poacher for walleye on Winnebago, but none of that rubbed off on me. I preferred to stalk and put an arrow or spear through fish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elvis christ 451 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Your daughter looks just like my buddy's wife's daughter. You can definitely tell from the pic that your boy was irritated about sis's angling. He's like, 'yeah, I got a fish, fuck you, take a picture for formality.'

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 He was irritated, he is used to just he and I fishing together, and then this is one of his Bday presents. When I told him his sister was going he pitched a pretty good protest. Then she caught fish 5:1 over him and caught & landed the biggest fish. Kind'a ego crushing for him... Too bad. He has known for years that when she is mature enough she gets to go fishing with me too. That put his cock in a knot sure enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerry52 893 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 You are blessed with great children, the wife and I could never have them . Good parents enjoy their children. Have done a ton of youth work in my life and have seen them grow up and have their own children. The ones with great parents always do well One of the felons on probation in my wendsday group was in my first youth group, his mother has Been married 5 times and never knew his father. Blessing to your family and may all your problems be small. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
