ALL SMALL FISH BEWARE!!

FISH Tremble When We Come Near...

The day was almost perfect! The air was clear and crisp. Morning mist was wafting over the grass and the water with the sun just peeking up over the eastern horizon. We were hoping to be the first ones at our fishing hole, the ones to bring breakfast to the fish, breakfast with a hook! We were a little bit disappointed to find our fishing hole was the gathering spot for some big overnight Boy Scout event. There were scouts and tents all around the fishing pond. Fortunately, none of the scouts seemed interested in fishing. And, as you can see from the glass-like smoothness of the water, none of the scouts seemed inclined to disturb any fishing opportunities by throwing rocks in the water.

We picked a strategic point for our attack and commenced to taunt and tempt the fish. "Here fishy fishy fishy! We have fat and juicy Canadian nightcrawlers for you."

After a brief set up and time to get ourselves oriented, the contest of wits and skill began.

At first the fish were winning. They managed to pluck quite a few worms from our hooks before we finally got down to business.

It wasn't too long before we all had a little bit of action. Of course, none of the fish were any bigger than half a hand, but we had a good time.

First attempt at Blogging

Well here we go. We don't know what we're doing, but we'll learn as we go.

We hope we'll have some interesting things to post every now and then. Our most interesting stuff comes from outside our home, from our family away from home. We mostly just go to work and to school.

The beaches of Galveston are not too far from us and beaches and waves are calm and peaceful if you're not having a hurricane. This year we haven't had any of those (yet).

This week has been busy with school and work (oh, wait, I already said that's what we do mostly). But, the weather has been really nice these last couple of days (kind of like this picture from earlier this year...no it's not a recent one). It's quite a bit cooler here, but we aren't getting any snow or freezing temperatures like some people we know of in Utah or Ohio. Dan has said he's going to take Zach and Chase fishing at Challenger Park (that's where this picture was taken earlier this year...you can tell because Charlissa is in the picture and she's in Utah with Cassie and Jonny right now) on Saturday and terrorize the little perch, catfish, and old shoes at the bottom of the pond in the park. If we catch anything worth mentioning, or if we even get any bites from anything other than mosquitos, we might post it here just so we can get something fun going.
