Fathers Day Fishing Trip

[bigbill]

After being sick I have the cleanest tackle boxes on the planet. The cleaned and lubed reels with new rods n line ready to use. I don't go out much(bad lower back). But my son took me out for fathersday.

The newly opened water shed lake has a small dock. I put my two tackle boxes in front of my chair. I had a blast throwing lures and watching my presentations. I didn't lose the art of the presentations I was spot on with every bait. The new rods and reels worked flawlessly. I was like a little kid trying every bait. It was a blast just casting. I didn't catch anything but need to learn this new place now. The area around the dock looks like shallow flats. Next trip it's the hummingbird cast out fish finder to check the depths. And the bottom structure then I know how to fish it.

My point is take your dad or mom or sister or brother, cousin, relative or friend / coworkers fishing. Take the time to give back to this awesome fun sport.

My other son's buddy, I asked if he fishes? He said he doesn't catch anything. That's about to change soon. A dozen night crawlers with some live minnows can change that then once he's hooked well switch to lures. The bass will hook him on fishing for sure.

I missed a lot of fishing the past few years but I'm back now.

The week before Father's Day, my wife and I drove up to Tennessee and stayed the week with her parents. My father in law took me out fishing and I caught my first bass. I never liked fishing when I was younger but something about actually catching a bass got me hooked. I've been fishing every other day since then and when I got back in town I went to my dad's and started telling him about my fish and such and me and him sat for a good two hours just talking fishing, something I never had with my dad. He showed me different casting techniques, taught me about different lures and just had a gleam in his eye that I had never seen before when it comes to me and him. Over the past month we have talked more and been closer than ever before.

WTG , Bill. I'm glad you got the chance to get out again. What a great way to spend Father's Day.

It felt so awesome making long casts again. Walking the dog never looked so good. It was great to be bass fishing and alive. Now soon it's up at 3:30am shower, eat breakfast grab a coffee and hit my local hot spots.. I'm ready now.

I was told the meds would wear off and I'd be my normal self again. I starting to feel better everyday.

I have some new rods to break in and wear out.

God bless everyone.

My buddy topwater spook too we been through it together brother we made it, it was a tough road that tested our faith and strengths. Thank god our families supported us and the guys and gals here prayed for us.

Prayers do work. God bless.

Congrats on your biggest fight in your life so far. Bass fishing is a great pastime but without your health there is nothing there to keep the motivation. I myself missed an extended period of time due to a broken neck. Once I was cleared to return it felt like a part of my life was given back to me that I can still cherish all the memories I've made and still waiting to make more. My biggest wishes go out to you that you remain healthy and have any years and stories to share with us.
