Father's Day Fishing!



Last week, I wrote my Daddy a poem and "painted" him a picture inviting him on a Father's Day Fishing trip for his Father's Day present. Yesterday, me, my Daddy, and Robert went fishing in Suffolk, VA in Lake Cohoon. It was a lovely day; bright sun in the amazing blue skies with white puffy clouds. We really couldn't have asked for a better day. It's been years since I've been fishing with Daddy and it was great for all of us to get out there, spend some time together, and enjoy the combination of relaxation and excitement out on the water!

Robert & I caught a few crappie and brim aka "4-inchers." (we called them "4-inchers" growing up. that's all my brothers and i normally caught; small fish, approximately 4 inches long, that we just caught and released.) Daddy caught the same few 4-inchers as well as the biggest bass he's caught in years. It was about 2 lbs!!!


A little sunning for a yellow-slider...i was doing my fair share of sunning on the boat, too!

Sweet kisses for the brim. :)
