First Family Trip Of 2010

[edwin]

I picked up a new boat in mid October and the kids (10 and 6 y/o)have been going crazy to get out and do some fishing. The cold winter and nasty weather has cancelled 3 family trips down to TR. It's an understatement to say they were jazzed to finally get down to the lake this past weekend.

We were there over last weekend and into middle part of this week. We put together a pretty decent short fish bite tossing single tail grubs around the cedars up the James. To get bit, it was tough getting them to wait to let the bait sink. I think I'm personally going to keep the Yamamoto, Chompers, and Whisker jig head folks in business a bit longer...they got hung up a lot!!! We ended up having some great days on the water even with the not so perfect conditions. As the kids get a bit older and more proficient, I have almost as much fun 'guiding' for them as I do going fishing myself.

My oldest won the first fish competition

Youngest followed up with a lunker of her own

Followed by their first double

-I'll second that. Great report, and big smiles; even with that gloomy looking weather!

Family and friends......that's what it's all about.

Have a good and safe summer all!

Hey! I know where that tree is! I miss when the kids were little and we fished a great deal. Everything is more fun with kids.....except maybe a honeymoon.

Nice pics!
