Fishing in Arkansas

Well, we have finally gone fishing on the farm. We have been here for four months looking out at my Dad's pond and have never gone near it let alone gone fishing in it. Last Saturday a gentleman that works with my dad, who is also the nephew of the man that built this house and my dads, came over to fish. He brought his wife and they fished all day. It looked like so much fun we decided to go down for a closer look. After talking with them we decided we would go fishing Sunday afternoon.
So, on Sunday we found all the fishing poles that we could here on the farm and tried to get them in working order. We all had a pole and set out to fish. It was really great considering it was our first try at fishing with the girls. They did not understand why the fish didn't just bite as soon as you put the pole out. I am sure that we will all need to learn to be patient if we want to continue fishing. David hooked the first fish but it took his line and ran. I caught the second one and was able to get it pulled in. We had a great time! Check out the pictures.

So next time we visit, are we going to have farm caught catfish?

Well, I can't say I blame the girls. I expect (really want) when I go fishing for the fish to bite immediately too. I know I don't have the patience for fishing. Sounds like ya'll had a great time!

There's something missing, Laura! It's pictures of you too! You need to get some pictures of you up there too!

I'm glad to hear things are going well for all of you!
