Saturday February 16th - Fishing Trip

Hey there:
     This past Saturday was a great day for an ice fishing trip and since Terry King wanted to get his son Robert out in the fresh air to try his luck, myself and Tyler joined them.
      We left home at 7:30am to go to try our luck for some smelts in Salt Pond, Burin. After an hour and  no luck with the smelts and having caught only 1 trout we decided to try our luck in another pond about 20 minutes north of Marystown. We spend an hour there and caught only 3 small trout so off we went to try our luck at one more pond about 10 minutes further north. We'll it seems the fish were biting there and after a couple of hours fishing we had a total of 24 pan sized trout. We all had a good time but the two young boys, Robert and Tyler were tired by this time and both were fast asleep before we reached Marystown.
      As well Robert had his 9th birthday party from 6:00 - 8:00pm that evening so by the time that was over he was really tired and ready for a good night's sleep.
      I managed to capture some of the fun we had that day in a few photos which I shared below.

Enjoy.

Can't go fishing without the Tim's, eh Terry!

Starting to fish.

Checking out to see if there is anything down there!

His first fish of the day!

That's a nice one.

And another nice one!

Tyler gets in on the act - trying out the auger.

He's fishing too. He has his Tim's too!

Tyler catches a nice fish too.

The lazy man's way of fishing!

Something big down there or what!

Robert is ready to head home!

Fine looking 9 year old, eh! Smiling for the girls. :-)

Blowing them all out!
