Change of plans

I had to revise my fishing plans for the weekend due to my son's cat getting run over friday night. I had planned on fishing for some Chrome on the Willamette but he was really down so I decided to take him out with me and have some father/son time.
I changed my quarry to smallmouth bass because I knew we'd catch some fish which is a mandatory for a sad 11 year old. Gotta catch some fish no matter what. Seemed to do the trick. Brought a smile to his face and really brightened his day. Me I just had fun being Dad.

Great job!  The correct choice for sure.  Loved fishing those smallies when I went to scholl in upstate New York. 

Bravo! 

Good choice for sure. No sorrow in that face!!

Right plan of action Yokut. Those are times you'll both remember and as my Dad is fast approaching "his time" he and I both have those memories and the love that goes with it. I take my hat off for you.

I'm glad you got some quality time fishing with your son. The tandem hobie's are perfect for teaching/taking kids fishing. My 8 year old son caught a small halibut in the front of a tandem with me last summer in Huntington harbor, Ca. It was a riot! It pulled us all over the harbor. Nice job on a priceless day of fishing.
