    Paw Paw came for a visit

    A visit from pawpaw is always great and dad wanted to get us catching or killing something. Some bad luck spoiled our turkey hunt, so we went home got the boat and went to Lake Hickory. First time for any of us but dad said he wanted to go someplace different. He was mad that the lake wasn't in his chip and we didn't have a good map. We saw lots of fishing birds in the morning but didn't catch anything until the dam let some water out. The current picked up and we started catching striper. We fished two planer boards, two down rods and two freelines all with circlehooks. Here's some of the best ones.









    We also got some of these.


    The crappie fisherman were not happy we snagged their brush piles. I also got to practice throwing the bait net to catch shad.


    That fishing trip was just what we needed to change our hunting luck. The next morning dad called us in 3 gobblers. It was real exceiting to hear them talking to dad. When the big one got close enough pawpaw shot him in the head with his 12 gauge. We didn't shoot the other two because they were jakes.

    sorry no marlin or yft's

    Great job son.


    I feel blessed to be able to enjoy these times with my dad and son together. Putting you guys on fish or birds is better than getting them myself. Thank you God!

    Sounds to me like you need to invite PawPaw to visit more often. What a great couple of days.
