After dealing with funerals all week, we decided to celebrate my sons birthday a few days late. I asked him what he wanted to do today, and he said fishing!!! Atta boy, lol.

I was supposed to fish a derby today, and the conditions were perfect, but I said heckwithit, lets go fishing from the shore guys.

So I rigged up there rods and we headed down. It was windy and overcast, but pretty mild. Nice looking walleye weather.

So my oldest boy takes his first cast, and he gets bit on the shakeyhead right away!!! Not a big fish, but a nice chunky lil female, and his first of the year!

He casted around for a few more minutes, then set the hook on a really nice bite! He looked like a pro . This time it's a good fish, and his new personal best!!!!

NExt up is my youngest boy, and within a few casts, he sets the hook!!! It looks like a good one, but it's always tough to tell with kids. "Dad, it's pulling really hard"!!!!

I laughed abit as I got the net ready (I was purely a spectator today) and I seen the fish jump near shore!!! "Whoa dude, you got a really nice one"!!!!!

All in all, the kids landed 10 walleye in about 2 hours, and a 40" pike. That pike wanted to swim though, so we never got pics. It was a super dark fish, beautiful really, the pike are finished spawning
 
Always great when you get to take your kids fishing. Those memories will last forever. I, like you, never took a rod for me when I took my kids fishing because it was more fun watching and helping them.
