Eager to GET OUTSIDE and enjoy the lake (and get the heck out of the house!!!), we installed the dock on Saturday. Though we were too pooped to start fishing on Saturday, we didn't waste much time getting outside on Sunday.
Eric went out first and got everything set up. Ramsey followed, while I did some things inside the house. When I came out, my heart melted... it was the sweetest picture of the boys sitting together fishing on the dock.
The fish weren't biting immediately, so Ramsey decided to then move on to his play set. I had installed a new chin-up bar/fireman's pole, so we played with that, did some swinging, and also tore out all of his toys (sand toys, his digger, shovels, pails, etc) from the shed.
Later that evening, after we'd taken an afternoon break to have a Zoom call with the fam for Uncle Cory's 40th birthday, we went back out for a bit. Eric stayed out longer than Ramsey and I did. He called us up at the house to let us know he'd caught a giganto catfish! Ramsey ran down to the lake to check it out. I saw it from the deck. ...guess we'll be having fried catfish supper in the near future! :-)
When Eric came in the house for the evening, he let us know that the walleye were biting. Ramsey's little R2 D2 fishing rod had about a 24" walleye on, that came off at the last minute. He also lost three other walleye from his jigging pole. Dang! But, at least they're biting. ...very promising. :-)
