First day of school usually means fishing for Mom!

By Susan Brownell

The kids went back to school today, and I try to make this a day that I get to start my fall fishing.  So I went to Godfrey's Pond and was not disappointed.

The first hour was spent with me rowing the boat and casting, and casting, and casting.  I finally decided to take a picture because at this point with no bites, I needed to do something productive on my day out.

I took one pictures, as it's quite overcast today.

 

I decided to do some more casting and retrieving, and it paid off nicely!!!

I landed this 17 inch Largemouth bass.  A fat and healthy looking fish, at that!

 

 

And then, on the next cast...   I caught a chunky little Northern Pike.  Can't tell in the picture... but it wasn't starving, by any means.

 

 

 

And finally, I landed another, smaller Bass.

 

 

And this was how I spent my kid's first day back at school.   :)

Tomorrow is the last day of school. Needless to say, I do not usually spend that one fishing. The last few years it has been spent at the school were my daughter receives an achievement award! :)
