My daughter and I went fishing yesterday. We decided just to drive aournd the local area and see if we could fish somewhere close to the house for an hour or two. I finally found this little creek that flowed into the bay. It was right in the middle of this upppity neighbor hood. So i pulled over and we fished. I bought some shrimp and started setting out a line. We were freelining shrimp into the creek. We would drop our lines straight down about 3 feet into the water. The water was flowing pretty good out of the pipes that ran under the road and the current was taking our baits down stream and right under the over hanging limbs. Not much room to cast anyway. Well it was pretty shallow so I was just mostly spending time with my daughter when I got a strong hit and set the hook, and I cathc the first hard head of the day. Then my duaghter starts yelling daddy daddy while i'm putting the catfish n the trick as a friend of mine calls it, roll the top lip of the hard head back over his head so he down's bite again. Kaitlyn is realling in her pole but the line is going the other directionand all of a sudden her line is just sreaming off the little princess pole.. And out of the whole shoots what I thought was a lady fish but I believe it was a juvi poon, it's takes her line all the way down the creek I'm trying to help her but there is not much we can do, it jumps about 3 times and dissapears down the creek and the line goes limp, WE got lucky, the line didn't break but the little hook she had on broke. I got excited and so did she. Kaitlyn was just giggleing and saying daddy did you see that fish jump and then she started to try and act out the whole thing again. After about 4 more catfish and some mosuito bites we loaded up and went home. Not bad for about an hour of just wasting some time.
