Family Fishing
« on: May 09, 2018, 01:44:43 PM »

What it’s all about.

 With social media full of people taking their fishing skills so serious and feeding their egos on their great catches.  If you can maintain a successful career, and still manage to provide and care for your family, you are truly blessed to have the privilege to pursue fishing.

I recently made two amazing trips that were so worthwhile.  1) Taking Triston in the boat for the first time, and catching hybrids with Bree and Crystal.  It was crazy helping Breelyn cast to busting fish, and watching Crystal try to fight fish with Triston in her lap.
2) Taking my Father our fishing before he’s laid up for a couple months after knee surgery.


Hope you guys are able to get your loved ones out on the water this summer.

nicely done.

On my reservoir rig, I have a bimini top on slide rails (4 ft long). Helps to keep the kids out of the sun without having to wear hot hats.  Sure the top and straps get in the way, but it is worth it for not having to slather the kids up and helps to keep them cool (extends the fishing time).  Something to think about if you get a dedicated reservoir boat.  We also take lots of swim breaks too.  ;D

 ;D ;D I remember these days. Nothing like raising an outdoor girl! FYI the desire to be outdoors gets stronger the older they get.

Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

Not many things too having your kid in the boat, laughing and saying.... oh that’s a big daddy, right daddy?   Well done Travis God has blessed you with a beautiful family.

Great pics. Started my daughter trout fishing when she was four. Now she is twenty-three and not only she but her husband are my fishing buddies...not to mention the five month old grand daughter who doesn’t know it yet😎.
