Fishing!

 

A few weeks ago we went fishing with our friends and dogs.  We headed up the canyon and ended at Starvation.  We loaded up the sleds with all our fishing gear and walked down to the lake.  Our dog Gus practically dragged me down the hill he was so excited.  Anywho…We fished for awhile and I caught nothing for like 3 hours….very exciting…hahaha.  Andrew on the other hand kept getting some bites and about ten minutes in he caught a pretty nice rainbow.

A little while later Andrew and Eric walked off to find some more places to drill some holes.  I was patiently sitting by pole praying for a bite when I heard a splash and I looked up and Andrew’s pole was GONE!  I yelled to him telling him his pole was gone.  He ran over and sure enough some fish took it down the hole.  Eric grabbed his pole and fish finder and put it down the hole and a few minutes later he had hooked something.  He brought it up and he had snagged Andrew’s fishing line on his hook!  So he started reeling it up, and here comes Andrew’s fishing pole!  Andrew grabbed it and then he reeled in the fish that took his pole down the hole hahaha.

Here’s the fish and pole that were down the hole haha not a bad size fish!

And then later in the day I caught a fish too!…Well sorta…Andrew hooked it on his line but let me reel it in because I got no action the entire day..total let down.  I usually out fish Andrew when we go fishing, so he was really proud of himself that day haha.

It was a really nice day, but then it got super cold and started to snow so I put Andrew’s camo coat on and I got roasty toasty.

When we got home that day we were driving past the field across from our house and this beauty was in there!  A really nice 4 point.  Andrew put out a salt lick trying to get them to stay there so he could go get his antlers once they fall off, but no luck yet.

  1. I can't believe that thing was across the street from your apartment. Get Brandon down there to hunt for the antlers. Fishing looks like FUN!
