Our Fisherman...

Yesterday we wanted to take Charlie and his buddy Kai fishing while we were camping.  They messed around some at the pond at the camp ground. Then we decided to head to Mark Twain Lake to take them fishing. Charlie had bought a lure and we kept telling him that he would never catch anything with that. In the two times we had been fish prior he caught 8 fish once and 2 the second time using worms  and Daddy nor Moppy have ever had luck when using lures. So after driving around looking for a spot and then spending an hour finally finding a bait shop.  We were put onto a little know honey hole.  Where we thinking that Charlie could mess with his lure but when he started seeing Kai catch fish with worms he would changes his mind.  Well things didn't go the way we thought they would! Each of the boys caught two fish, see picture's below......

He is how Chaz explains what happened:  My six yr old completely disregarded everything I told him to do and caught not one but two of these on a lure I told him would not work in this pond within about 30 minutes of fishing after I wasted an hour trying to find some nightcrawlers. The kid watches every episode of Swamp People and River Monsters and claims to be Jeremy Wade's "biggest fan". Apparently, he's learned something about fishing.

Charlie's second catch of the day!!

It was great having Kai with us the boys get all so well and enjoy spending time together! They were happy for each other's  catches while fish. They switched poles for a while but oddly neither had luck when using the different bait. May of been they were just done with the fishing by then, who knows.  We came home early from our trip due to storms but the boys asked when we could go again so I am pretty sure that means they had a good time!!


Oh and if you ask Charlie what he's fishing with he'll tell you  "Artificial Bait AKA hard bait"

Just a fishin'
