Day four 6-20:
We go back up to South Lake to find Team 57 Dana, Donna, LateFisher (John), BoogieFisher (Bob) and the Family, already looking good as we walk up and see LateFisher's Grandson hook up on a nice 2 1/2# beauty.

After a day fishing at South Lake, Isaiah took a much needed nap.

I head back to the creek for some more fishing, only caught one but the photos were nice.

Day five 5-21:
We head down to a empty South Lake and were later joined by the Godfather and Donna, who then put on a show for us all morning. Later before we left for home, LateFisher and family all came to the lake for some fishing time.
Isaiah was the star for me, as he caught the only 3 fish we had before we left.

He snuck over to the Godfather to find out the slaying secrets.

Father's Day at South Lake.
It was very special to spend some Father/Son time with Tony jr. over the weekend.

I've been in that position a few times before! :LOL: Creek Crawlin' at it's best! Makes me feel like I'm 5 years old again.
Awesome couple of reports. Thanks for sharing the pics!

[PONTOON]

What an awesome report Tony!:Thumbs Up::Thumbs Up:

I knew I had missed a real good time from the pics I've vbeen seeing in the other reports and yours just confirmed it.
You're a Good Man Tony. Spending such quality time with Family is Priceless!
See you at the Legends.

Tony, beautiful pics! Great to see you again and I'm happy to see you guys having such a great time. :Big Grin:
Art…… Thanks for the work you do to help FNN be such a wonderful resource for all of us to enjoy. I’m sorry that Ben got so sick, but he’s lucky to have a caring friend like you. You represented Team 57 well at the creek. See you at the beach.

Nice pics and report!
Thanks to you and LadyFish for the great donation of a boat rental that I won at the pancake breakfast. As you might of read, I donated it back to FNN because I couldn’t convince my Grandson that the boat ride would be OK. I was glad to see Koshaw on Sunday morning go out on the lake with the boat. You two are such classy and generous people to donate, even though you couldn’t be at the event, but you definitely were with us in spirit.

Tony, great report. Wish I could of been up there for this team 57 event.
TM….. I can only imagine what a blast it would have been if you could have made it (and the tri-tip would have been on!).

SWEET!

I was hoping that Dana would sensor out the “hopeless romantic” moment from the thread. LOL

It was a special time with the boys. Simone isn’t my wife YET, but I guess I can’t pass on a woman that’s willing to get out and float tube!

I've been in that position a few times before! :LOL: Creek Crawlin' at it's best! Makes me feel like I'm 5 years old again.
Awesome couple of reports. Thanks for sharing the pics!
I’m glad that you enjoyed the pic and it brought back some of your younger days, it’s good to reminisce about days of fishing.

Coming from you Terry, I’m truly honored. I know how much you cherish your family. I hope we can fish the Vine sooner then Legends. See you soon my friend.
