The Pond: If you have not seen it, it is past time for you to visit the Lewis house. Mike dug a pond on the back corner of our property and it is great. On Sunday, during half-time of the Cowboy game, Little Man wanted to go "fishing". I put this in quotes because Mike and I did not think it would be a successful adventure. First we had to find worms. Mike dug in the usual spots and finally found a few worms to take to the pond.
So, all four of us headed down to the pond. Michael took his spiderman fishing pole. Sister and Michael rode the gator down. We had not been there ten minutes when Michael had the first bite......he tugged (with dad's assistance) and hooked his first FISH. When Mike dug the pond, he dropped some bait perch in it last spring. And that's what Michael caught.
He tried it again. This time there was a lot of movement on the cork, but the little fish (what Michael's calls "Bait stealers") took the worm.
(This video is of Michael describing the "bait stealers")
Mike put another worm on the hook and cast the line for Michael. And he caught another.....all together Michael caught about 4-5 pretty good size that were about 3 or 4 inches long. He also managed to catch one that was 2 inches.
It was a fun time. The event has made Mike want to expand the pond. He bought a fountain for it and has it on when we are not fishing. It is loud enough that you can hear it from the back porch and the basketball court. It is so very peaceful. Just one more wonderful addition Mike has made to our home.
VERY Cute...I wish we could have been there with ya!
