Well...once again I got to fish with my son on our local lake for the Tuesday nighter.  This is our third year of doing this and it's time truly enjoyed.  You could say it's almost written in stone.  I make no other plans for that night and neither does he.  He now has three children so kudo's for mom watching the darlings while we work on the water!!!  And kudo's to my wife for also blessing me with this time too.  Last night the bite was kind of tough except for the dang mosquito's.  They are not supposed to be out yet!!  Dang...I gave my pint...thank heavens for "After Bite"...it took away the itch.

Anyway we only managed four keeps and came in fourth out of about twenty boats...we both had another opportunity at a keeper but it wasn't to be.  We got our money back and made plans for battle next week.  Seems that lots of runts are running the banks now....water is 65 and climbing.  A fifth fish would have got us much higher to be sure.  Was a great time and believe my son had a muskie take his Senko on one of his last cast's....Big swirl....bent rod...frayed line and no lure!!

Awesome stuff.  My best times on the water are with my dad. We've been fishing tournaments together for quite some time now.  Unfortunately, we've lived 8hrs apart for over 3 years now and getting back up to NY to fish is getting harder and harder.  It really makes those times that much more special though. Good luck on your next one!
