4:30 A.M. comes awful early...

We were in a Saltwater fishing tournament today and on days like this we have to be out and on the water at 6am...And since we have a little bit of a drive to get to the coast it means getting up at 4:30am, ugh!

Today we had one draw back the wind! It was awful! When I checked the weather report last night it said to expect 20 to 30 mph winds, not good when you want to fish and even worse when your in a Kayak. I stayed busy watching Michael and trying to fish. I had to tow him for a bit but then we got into the grass/marsh, I stuck him in a grass bed and went out across from him where I could fish and watch him. Michael loves to fish. He's been fishing with me since he was 6 months old but if he isn't catching fish he has a short attention span. Today he lasted about 30 minutes before he started getting bored. I decided to grab the Powershot and snap a few photos before he got bored and started playing around.


He's like me always watching something...

He's so serious when he fishes and I love watching him cast. He's good at it!

Fred was moving around looking for fish...

We didn't catch anything and didn't even get a bite. It was pretty rough and we were using lures instead of bait. But still it was a fun filled day together. I'm whooped and fix'in to head to bed. We went to the tournament dinner this evening and Michael and I won several door prises, woohoo. Hopefully the next tournament in June will be better and the weather will cooperate!

Too bad about the wind and the lack of fish...looks like you had a pretty good day in spite of it all.
