Cool Day

Today Ella and I had a morning with just the two of us.

I left the itinery up to her...honestly....but she was adamant ...
Lets go fishing!!
Every night when I tuck her into bed she does this cute thing where we discuss what we're going to dream about.
She'll usually say "soccer,camping...and that big large mouth bass that I caught".
Nice.
So the pond is getting a little tired and we thought we'd better check out some new water.


We started at Canatara Beach off the "Rock Pile".
Sometimes this location is good for a few early season Walleye. All we could get today were Smallmouth bass.
Ella loved it here.
When the fishing slowed down she could play on the rocks.
I however was not dressed for the north wind and punked out early.
It has been an unusually cold spring here and we have yet to turn the air on at the house.
We finished up at the local marina where we pretty much hit for the cycle..lol..
Pumpkinseeds, Smallmouth, Bluegill, Perch,...and some really big and fiesty Rock Bass.
Ella loved their Beautiful Orange eyes.


The action was fast and furious and I didn't take many pictures or video....I regret it now..I know that I am going to look back on these days with an aching heart in the near future. Right now I am the hero...and it feels pretty good.
It would be easier if I was foolish enough to believe that would last forever ...but I suppose I wouldn't appreciate it as much.
I am glad we have fishing.

BTW... I managed to drop my new camera on the rocks...nice...
