Our First Family Fishing Trip (04.16.2005 - 04.17.2005)

On a beautiful weekend recently (April 16 and April 17, 2005), Michael, Grandmother Anita, Yummers, Minnie and I went fishing! For some reason, Minnie had it in his heart that he really wanted to go fishing and would ask everyday during our trip to Quebec when we were going to go.

So, we went to two locations to catch a fish after we came home. The first location was at one of the small ponds on Schoolcraft Road by Hines Drive. While we were fishing, a Parks Officer questioned folks who were fishing whether or not they had a fishing license. We learned that kids who were 18 and under did not have to having a fishing license. Good thing to know.

After some time, it was fairly clear that today would not be a day where we would catch a fish. While we were fishing, there was another man who was walking around throwing his line in and around different areas of the ponds. Apparently, these ponds have some good sized fish. They just weren't biting today. He recommended another park in Plymouth with a little lake on McClumpha Road.

After bidding farewell, we decided to eat lunch and let the kids play in the park across the road. Tomorrow, we would go to the park on McClumpha Road.

We went to the park on McClumpha Road and were a little more successful as you can see! :O) Minnie and Yummer both caught a bluegill each. It was a really exciting time for both kids.


Minnie's first catch - a bluegill!


We're looking forward to more fishing trips!
