5/5

Well not much of a report but thought I would share anyways.  Took the (almost 3 year old) grandson, Owen, fishing.  Pretty late start but working on his time frame.  We were mostly seeing if the old Skeeter still worked and wanted to make sure he had fun.  

We put in at Flat Creek.  Nice free ramp with ample parking.  A couple of people using the only ramp there to work on their outboard so slow getting in the water.  Kind of a bad day and time to use a free single ramp to work on your stuff and plug up the system for the rest of us but I guess to each their own.  They moved out of the way fairly quick but stayed in the drive wanting me to squeeze through with my trailer.  I didnt want to risk bumping someone elses rig and made them move.  After they were out of the way got the Skeeter in the water an it started right up.  Love the Yamaha 90!  The bunk board on the trailer is about disintegrated though.  Easy fix next time out!  

We mostly drove around running gas through the motor.  We caught small Ks on the square bill and the Eakins jig with a twin tail.  We fished in the Cape Fair area mostly where I knew they would be.  Most of our stuff came in the 15-18' of water but not a real pattern because again we were just looking to get Owen a fish.

We used to fish 4-5 times a week but worked a job with lots of hours for about 7 years and bought 15 acres where we built a house, fenced and currently working on a barn.  Fishing was put on the back burner on simmer for way to long.  Felt great to be back on the lake.  Awesome day.

I took many a nap riding in a boat headed back to the ramp as a kid growing up. Those are Great memories for me from my childhood and I hope for your child as well.

Wow! Just Awesome. 

Glad to see you’re raising him to be a Jayhawk. 

Took my 9 year old out Crappie fishing yesterday and the highlight was a 10lb carp on an ultralight. He’s still excited about it this morning! Memories....

Well done.

Brennan!  I was hoping no one would notice that!  He was born in the Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City so we are partial to that place.  I wear my Owen hat on Owen days.  He never takes his off.  If I don't have mine on when he gets to our place , one of the first questions (there are many) is "where is your hat Papa?"  Seems to delight my son-in-law to no end!  Good fun!

Great day! Keep him close. Congrats.  The hats are awesome, right Vernon! My wife and I both spent a total of 9 years at KU.
