Way To Spend A Weekend



Saturday and Sunday, Bulldog Man and I headed out early to catch some trout to place in our freezer.  The wind picked up a bit on Saturday. so we only stayed out at the pond a couple of hours and caught only 2 trout.  

On the way home, we stopped off at Bass Pro Shop in Oklahoma City and found a couple of really light fishing rods with reels at a great price.  These rods will be great rods for fishing trout, bass, and crappie.  Bulldog Man and I decided to try the new rods at the pond on Sunday.

Sunday morning at 5:30 AM, we arrived at the pond and setup our gear.  Dropping our fishing lines in the water, we sat back in our comfy camping chairs, enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee, while watching the moon disappear through the clouds, and the sun appear over the horizon, waiting for a fish to bite.  As the sun blessed us with her shine, a pair of beavers swims across in front of us, heading toward the other side of the pond.  Geese fly in, landing in the water, while ducks float along the shoreline looking for food, and a medium-sized turtle swims under our fishing lines, and occasionally pops his head up to let us know he’s there.  

Sunday afternoon we brought home 5 more trout to add to our freezer stash for meals later on.    Okay ………. Bulldog Man wants me to note he caught the fish.  I’ll let him take the credit, he earned it :-)


Besides, the best part about fishing, is spending time relaxing together, and enjoying the great outdoors.

Beautiful sunrise.

  1. What a wonderful post. Looks like a beautiful weekend. Is it too early to say Spring is around the corner? Hope it is!! Enjoy those trout. I used to fish with my Dad when I was younger but haven't in ages (and ages). Might need to do that sometime.

    1. 1st Man,

      It was a beautiful weekend. Springs not here yet, temperatures to drop after this weekend :-(

      You should get back into fishing, it's so relaxing and your out in the middle of mother nature. What makes it even better is if you're with the one you love.

      That's right PP, you'll know what will happen!!!! PP = A Chihuahua treat!!!

      We had a blast out there fishing. No this time we put up the trout to eat in the next couple of weeks. Were going to try to get as many as we can legally before the season is up the end of the month. Please share with Jambaloney :-)

    1. Michaele,

      We froze our butts off. We dressed in layers and peeled a layer off each time the temperature rose. The trout is really nice, to bad trout season will be over on the 28th of the month.

    As many as we have told men Size doesn't matter when it comes to fishing it does. Sorry, Jay! Sandy is still champion.

    1. Gail,

      Fishing is one of the best ways to relax. The second best was is to walk in the woods, or along a creek and look for rocks.

      Yes.......size with fish matter!!!!

      It was just wonderful Mama Pea!!! I remember ice fishing up north in Michigan. Lot's of work but so worth it :-)

      Soon the ice will be gone and you can enjoy fishing in the warmth.
