Getting a Line Wet (Parts Tres and Cuatro)

So, basically this was a perfect first fishing opportunity... The wind was low, they were actually able to find some fish, and a couple of those fish actually found their way onto Caleb's hook. Please know that it's rarely that easy! :) We were hoping things would go well so that it would leave Caleb with a fun memory and delay the more challenging fishing trips for when he gets a little older.

You may be wondering what they used to bait their hooks! (Or you may not be able to care less... Hee hee) On this particular trip, they used live bait:

Then came the catch of the day!

Way to go Caleb! I'm proud of you!

Living near the coast has spoiled us when it comes to the potential size of the fish to be caught. Scott was amazed for a while once he got to experience fishing off the coast the first few times. However, neither of us can wait for Caleb to get to experience what Scott grew up doing and what he introduced me to in college: the excitement of a big large-mouthed bass attacking a topwater lure!
