Fall Fishing Trip

 In 2020, with Covid and online learning, the boys and I met my dad back up in Minnesota to do some fall fishing. They were able to do school online and we caught some fish!

This year, my dad went up for the week and we headed up there Wednesday after school and let the boys miss school on Thursday and Friday...we will call them mental health days!

As tradition, we stopped at Cabela's on the way up to pick up a few new lures. The boys picked out some top water frogs!

The weather was great, a little cooler but the fish didn't seem to mind! We quickly found some nice bluegill!

Catching some keepers!

We also got into the bass! That is my favorite fish to fish for and the boys enjoy it as well. Most of the docks had be winterized for the season, canopy's removed and lifts up. We love fishing by docks and as we approached this one, Garrett made a big cast...right over the top frame of the canopy. His weedless tube jig fell down into the water and wouldn't you know it...fish on! So G reeled the fish up and popped it over the top! We all laughed about it...if you look closely at this picture, you can see the bass in mid-air!
Here he is with his "flying" fish!
While we were up there, Trigg turned 10!!!!!
And caught a birthday bass! Well done buddy!
He was pretty excited about it!
We had some cinnamon rolls to celebrate
G caught some big fish...and a couple little ones too!
I tied my personal best record for a large mouth, weighing in at 4lbs 9oz!

As always, Grandpa lets the boys drive the boat!
Catchin' more!
A few more big bass!
Trigg's turn at the motor!
Garrett working a jig that matched his jacket and shirt! A stylish fisherman!

One more!
It was a great trip, we caught plenty and made some fun memories!
