Booked a Trip for the Kids with the hook-up to lake Mary for some Pike fishing. Before they go back to school and wanted to go to san Diego didn't have time so this was the closet thing.
Earlier this week I told them we were going to catch pike, they were jazzed, this morning I told them its up in the Forrest The Warden was going they were all excited. I guess they forgot pike were up there only.
Typical Pro staffers, when they got me out of bed they already had there Hook UP t-shirts and hats on from an earlier trip this Year.
We got to Lake Mary at 12:30 to Hook up with Dale. He had an earlier gig with someone in the morning and they nailed some pretty good ones and a huge yellow perch.
we head across the lake and Anthony wanted to cast, he was still having problems so Dale picked up a spinning rod. He had Anthony casting with in 30 Min's, then Anthony got a little lazy with the casting so he made Dale do it.
Anthony Caught 3 2 with Dale setting the hook and one on his own. Claudia Caught 2 both the biggest again One that I hooked for her to reel in the Big one that Dale hooked for her to reel in.
I enjoy sitting and watching the kids catch fish and them Just having fun,
Dale was able to Teach both kids how to cast in just a hour, its taken me a year + !
Anthony Not to be out done by his sister in casting took it more seriously and was casting extremely well. He was pretty jealous and didn't want to be out done that Claudia could cast really good. He told her to leave the front of the boat and told me to leave also and goto the back with Claudia, she went and casted away in the back of the boat and pretty much did it for a couple hours with no help. The kids got quite a few bites but couldn't hook up, I got a few bite and lost a good one handing the rod off to Anthony, Dale had quite a few hits also.
We were using braided line, you don't need to set the hook right away as they will hit it multiple times and setting the hook will just pull it away from them. We were throwing blades , buzz baits that were chartreuse with trailer hooks on them.
If you want o hit Lake Mary and never been up there Give the hook up a call, even if you have a boat book a trip with them and you will get to know the lake and how to fish for them its well worth the money, plus you don't have to haul your boat up there.
This is my second trip with them for the kids and I guarantee you there will me more, we always have fun and I can just sit back and relax and enjoy it.
Heres Dale trying to steal Anthony's fish, Anthony ain't going for it.
If you look at Anthony's Hand he threw it on top of Dales hand to keep Dale from stealing his fish.
I think I heard him Mumble something to Dale about " I caught it its mine"
Claudia wanted to fish with a worm and bobber then play with the worms
Claudia Also wanted to learn how to Cats and be on the front of the boat, so she kicked Anthony off. Dale had her casting like a pro with in 2-4 cast. She was hitting the bank with ease, I was pretty impressed. Dale was also fishing so he could pass the rod to the kids so they could reel them in, He hooked Claudia's big one and handed the rod to her.
When it got to the boat and made a splash, Dale grabbed the Net and Netted it. When it was in the boat she did the typical drop the rod and run to the back of the boat that fish has teeth. took some coaxing from everyone to get her pic with it.
