Run away Bass fishing like Monty python and the holy grail

Yesterday we hit and hit it hard. The boys boog and dad. We were held up at house as a thunder storm came and went. Then sun shine we’re off. First stop a small stream where we net crayfish minnows for bait. And in one netting my sons drop the net full of minnows once they saw that we also caught a water snake. That causesd the first run away. As the boys hauled ass , I calmed them down. Explaining that yes water snakes do have a shock value. Even for dad but they won’t hurt you.

So then we’re off to the river. And wading and we’re catching mostly bass. I even caught a bass on a minnow and in his mouth he had a crayfish he ate. I’m thinking it’s gonna be awesome day. I’m looking under rocks for helgramites bass love them. Boys are catching the boog is swimming and drinking river water. And I hear dad look at that. Big storm clouds ok guys to the car. We can wait it out well in the car. I get dad I gotta crap I’m thinking ok I’ll take you to general store. No let’s go home the store doesn’t have 2 ply. Note to dad from here on out Carry 2 ply in supplies. We’re only five miles from the 2 ply at home. So I drove home for junior to crap. We had lunch and headed out in afternoon. And we had great weather and we caught a decent amount of bass. So it was a good day. We were even catching after boog would swim through a hole hey guys I’m swimming Doing dog stuff. We hung out on these rocks letting our sandals and legs in the river. Boog is drinking river water and peeing on the rock. Boys break out bologna and cheese sandwiches boog says cool time for second lunch.

Who taught me so much about life. Said take your kids fishing. When they're in the boat they have to listen to what you are trying to teach them. I know your situation was mot that but it is one of the best times to get close.

Just kidding. I served with a guy whose last name was Skybinsky Guess what we called him?


SKY.

About those water snakes, we have them as well but some are thick bodied with a certain shaped head- Water Moccasins. They tend to be really aggressive especially if you are between them and the water. We have more copperhead then those and few rattlesnakes. A lot of people run over and kill Texas Rat snakes braging about the 4 foot copperhead they killed. Similar color but copper head never get that long.

I’ll loan you two thirteen year olds who are know it alls. Example fishing with a rebel plug. Easy kid that is a deep hole as he tries to get the plug unstuck. I’m ok dad then dunk he goes for a swim I’m good dad. And he climbs back on the rocks we’re sitting on soaking wet. See I’m ok yea I know and I’m glad that twenty year old rebel plug is ok as well. 😀
