I know we were totally cheating with crickets but Finn and I don't care. I used to blame the kids for why I was fishing crickets on an ultralight glass spinning rod but dammit, I like it too. Call this my summer guilty pleasure.
We didn't catch anything big but that didn't really matter. It was just really good to be on the pond fishing with my son for a couple hours before I had to be at work. Sometimes these quick fixes, on crickets or fly, are all we really need.
Finn is doing more on his own which makes this father proud. He's paddling his own kayak, casting his own rod, and puts his own gear bag together for the things he needs on the water. I was really only around to put a cricket on the hook and remove hooks when he caught a bluegill. It's great to see Finn take on more and more when we're outdoors together.
