Love to Fish

Hello everyone,
Took my daughter fishing today at Apollo park. Thought they had stocked it, but word around the lake is the next stock will be on 1/13/11. Oh well, we were there already. I asked if she wanted to fish with bait or lures. She chose power bait with bite-on. She said she would bait her own poles and use whatever color she wanted. Told her that was cool, It was all her today. She had an idea, that if she made the power bait look like a fish, then the fish would bite her line. So she made these,

I just smiled and said ok, Go for it. I started to work my lures and about 15 min later, Wham! She gets a bite and works this nice size trout in.

Very cool, I tell her. She is so happy, She says told you dad. So I keep fishing and I'm not getting anything, but at least my baby got one. Bam!! She gets another bite, but misses the set. Oh well, I tell her. The next one. She tells me, wont it be funny if I catch all the fish and you don't get any, like the time we went on the boat in the ocean. I tell her this will be a bit different, since I don't have to keep putting bait on her pole. We laughed and continued. Well, make a long story short.

My daughter - 2, Dad - 0 :Crying:. Maybe there is something to her little powerbait fish. :LOL:
Told her we will need to have a rematch. Will keep you all updated. :Big Grin:
