I took La's father (David), brother (David Jr), and nephew (Jared) out to fish this morning. It was a beautiful sunrise and we got to see a submarine and several jets go about their normal business.
And we saw several fish. But none of them wanted anything to do with our bait or flies. That is fishing. On a side note, I did rig up the TFO Mangrove 6wt - nice casting rod. It formed up controlled loops the Orvis Saltwater 6wt line a lot better than the Epic 686 did (but use the Epic to cast a full sink line and it is pure magic). I think I'll break out the RIO Perception 6wt and the SA DT6 lines I have and try and get the Epic better figured out for floating line options.

However, a side effect of the visit is continuous criticism from my own children about how small my truck is in comparison to Uncle David's Crew Cab Raptor. That's ok - my ego is intact.
We also enjoyed re-checking out the first Bass Pro Shop we ever went to. Marlon remembered he didn't like the "bridge" with the two boars hanging out - and he mentioned that he's over it now (such a big dude!!!).
Lastly - Marlon and Noe got to see their old paddleboards one last time. Glad to see their "niece" is getting good use out of the boards!
