Fathers Day

Date: June 19, 2011
Location: Lake Bloomington
Time: 2:00 PM-4:00PM
Weather: Low 80's and overcast with a moderate breeze
Water Temp: 76F
Results: 13" LM Bass  (Shaky Head with 5" KVD finesse worm)

This was the first time that I have taken one of my kids bass fishing with me.  Olivia who is 6 agreed to go out on the boat and watch me bass fish for a couple of hours.  It was a special time getting to spend time on the water with one of my daughters on fathers day.  She was the photographer for the trip.  She needs to come along more often.  The story again was a missed big fish, this time on the shaky head by the sand beach in the far back end.  I also lost a runt bass on a swim jig close to the boat.  Luckily I managed to catch a fish for my daughter on the last cast of the day by my usual seawall across from the boat launch.  Today was a memorable day spent with my daughter.
