Gone Fishin
Mack got a new fishing reel for Christmas and has been dying to try it out.....So yesterday I went out and got my fishing license and we headed down to Mariner Point Park......Marissa has never been fishing before but she asked if she could join us.....At first she wanted her own rod but I convinced her to share with me until she got the hang of it..........we put Marissa's chair right up next to mine on the pier.....Monica had warned me before we left that I would be in trouble if she fell in.......I baited my hook, cast it out and showed Marissa how to hold it...and feel the vibrations on the line for the fish...and then I turned to help Mack get his new Rod and Reel set up.......I don't think Marissa's worm was wet more than 2 secounds when She anounced "I got one"......"not that fast honey it takes some time".....and I went back to Macks rod......when Mack stopped me "Dad , look at her line I think she is right".......Sure enough see had caught her first fish a four inch sunny.......she posed with it but would not touch it....I didn't bring a camera but tried to take a pic with my phone only I forgot to hit save.....Monica would later scream at me for this mistake......after we threw him back Marissa looked at me and said "Dad this is not so hard I am ready for my own rod"
It was a good day we stayed out there for several hours......Marissa caught 3 for the day....her pace slowed some but she wants to go back.......Mack caught 6 including a nice size bass....which I also forgot to save the pic of......Oh and I caught 5 fish myself........they made me stay till we were out of bait
