Al's baseball game got rained out, well not exactly.  The field they were going to play on was underwater.  So we headed to my lunchtime spot to see if some fish would play.

The spawn had been on since this past Friday, but it looked like many of the beds were quiet, and the great bite from the past two days was not there.

He still caught a fish, and I got some nice pictures of him at work.

Enjoy!

Working on a bed that I couldn't get to bite all week.

He actually got the male to commit, but muffed the hookset.

Note the rod: he couldn't hit the target I was pointing out, so I threw my bait in there, and handed him the rod. Ten seconds later, a dink

Thought the sunset would be more dramatic, but it was pretty nonetheless.

Nice photos!!

Thanks man. Here's a tone mapped HDRI version I just finished. Its a different look.

Ya know, it's always great to see the kids fishing, and having great pic's makes it even better...nice job to both of ya..

Or, he grabbed your Sol and showed you how to catch a fish with it. ;D  Sorry, couldn't resist.  Nice shots, if you can't play baseball, fishing will sure soothe the soul.

Actually, he had a day last year with three of my buddies, and he totally schooled us with the drop shot.  He outfished us like 5:1 combined, and had a nice 3# kicker fish.

Is that a Diawa Capricorn on a St.Croix Triumph?

Daiwa on a Kistler.

I like it Francho, seems a lot more crisper.

Nice pictures...

Good stuff!

Thanks guys.  that male that Al whiffed on, I got him at lunch yesterday.  It looked as though this pond was done as soon as it started, but yesterday there was a new crop of males - some larger, some smaller, either on the early beds, or on new beds.  Its hard to tell, but I think there are other, deeper beds as well.  Caught a couple of fish off those "weird, light, spots" where it should weed choked.

Looks like the Boy is takin' after ya.....Glad you spend that kinda quality time with him and I bet he is too. That's terrific..

Soon enough, this guy will feel the tug:

Yep...looks like another Pea from the Pod to me.... ;D  Family tradition for sure.
