Today was the
Special Fishing Day at our local hatchery. We were allowed five fish and it took only minutes to fill our quota. The picture below is Seth telling his dad the "perfect place" that he should cast the bait.
And, the product of that cast. This is Seth's second fish and he wanted to thread the line in like he had seen Phil (our volunteer) do with the first fish.
Seth and Erik reeling in the biggest fish of the five -- a 5 pounder.
Showing off his big fish for the cameras!
And, showing off the whole haul -- 12 pounds total.
After fishing, there is a shooting gallery where the kids could shoot a pellet gun at a target. Check out the concentration here. Lacey is actually a very good shot -- watch out!
More concentration here:
As usual, it was a great day. Short considering we caught the fish, had them weighed and cleaned, shot the pellet guns and had the fish on ice and headed home in one hour! That's what happens when you get there early, you get really hungry fish. Very fun!
