Had a chance to fish Wednesday afternoon. My 6 year old daughter, Camryn, had a field trip to the lighthouse. I volunteered to tag along and help out.

After the field trip was over, Camryn and I launched at the fort and we headed to the west flats. We fished between 3' and 4', where she caught 3 trout (1 keeper) and a nice spanish. After about an hour, we moved to the east flats and fished between 4' and 6'. She didn't find any trout, but she caught another spanish, which gave her quite a fight; a sailcat, which she didn't think she was going to get--and she thought about giving up; a ladyfish which kept her laughing as it was jumping behind the boat; a small pinfish, which she kept on the hook and earned us a shark that measured over 3'.

This was in addition to the dolphins swimming by and jumping, and the manatee we saw on our way back up the river.

What a way to spend a Wednesday afternoon. And we made it back to the ramp in time to grab dinner at the Riverside cafe.

sounds like a heck of day. way to go. I bet I know her favorite part of the field trip.

Thats priceless, my little four year old girl got to take her first boat trip in the ocean this summer, she had a great time talking to the Dolphines, she would say over here, over here, and then ask her mom why the Dolphines not come over here. She is all the time asking when we were going to go back. Now when we go to the lake she want to know where the dolphins are. Glad you guys had a nice trip.

OUTSTANDING!

Hard to beat an afternoon like that

That's time well spent.

Those are the kind of reports I like ! It don't get any better than fishing with the children !

Excellento!!

I want to go on a field trip

Looks like you had a wonderful afternoon. I still remember when I used to fish with my folks. Days like that last a lifetime.

That's awesome!!

Nothing beats fishing with you kids, nothing.

Tell your daughter that her spanish is bigger than mine.
