As some of you may know we got a new boat and twice before took it out but couldn't get the main motor started. I got a little help earlier this week on what to do and it started right up on the first try.
So, I took the family out to Lake Lilinonah for a little fishing. We motored up to a cove in Brookfield for lunch but didn't catch anything. Then we headed back down towards the inlet where we launched and fished in another little inlet and had a lot of fun.
Brodie fell asleep in Michele's arms and I worked with the kids to catch sunnies. Nothing beats worms! Elliot caught his first fish and not only did Katie catch fish, but she is turning into a really good caster.
After Brodie woke up from his "nap" he didn't want to fish nor did he want to do anything we asked him to do. In fact while we were heading back to the launch he kept trying to crawl under my leg to get under the console.
It was a fun day but a lot of work. I got my line in the water but didn't get much fishing done because I was too busy baiting hooks, casting to the "right" spot, and trying to keep everything organized.
Below, Brodie is trying his rod out for the first time. I just put a bobber on the end of his line, casted it out for him, and let him reel it in.
Elliot caught his first fish! It was a sunny. We were fishing in Sunny beds because I figured with worms, that would be a sure fire way to catch something.

I told Brodie that he couldn't climb under the console so he tried any way. He is a stubborn little guy
