Quick Casts

When it comes to fishing, Nathaniel has become a lot like me at his age, making every cast he can any time he can get around water. He keeps boxes set ups specifically for a couple of nearby ponds where he occasionally gets to fish.

We're feeding a friend's cats this week, and there is a pond on the property behind our friend's house. Nathaniel always rides along if he can, and whether he can make one cast or fish for an hour, that's what he wants to do. Whether it's 60, sunny and still or 40, drizzly and windy makes no difference.

Yesterday's efforts yielded two bass, both on 3-inch YUM Dingers. Nathaniel's 5-year-old brother, Asher, gets credit for the camera work.
