On the Water

Last weekend we took the boat out for the first fishing trip this year. We checked the calendar and made this plan a few weeks back so that we could hopefully be on the lake at the right time for the bream to go on bed. This usually happens around the first full moon in May. We did have good luck and caught more that enough for dinner. Bryan caught a bream that was probably the biggest one he's ever caught there.

We had a good time, caught fish, had a picnic in the boat, and just enjoyed being together. That's the best really. This little boat has served us well for about 10 years. It's not flashy, it leaks a little, it's too small for all four of us now, and the motor gives Bryan fits every time we set out in it... it's still our boat and I like to be in it and think back to all the fun times and not so fun times we've spent as a family out on the water.
