My dad wanted me to join him at Lake Wohlford for his Senior Angler's Club Trout Derby on Thursday so we got to the lake at 5:45am to a line of cars at the gate. At 6am we walk up to the booth to get our permits and the guy asks "2 seniors?'' :o WTF.......I guess I look the part these days :o :o Oh well, off to the shore to set up shop. As we roll up, some guy is reeling in a nice trout but it was still dark and I didn't get a chance to get a pic but it was a 2 Lbs. (+ -) After getting my rod set up with freezing hands I snapped a few pics and sat in the truck till the sun peeked over the mountain, it was a bit chilly !

When the sun showed up we checked out baits, I got bumped a couple of times but no cigar ::)

The wind picked up a but and it made casting any distance a real problem. My dad's buddy, Mike showed up and hung out but I couldn't stand the wind anymore. I gave him a carton of Night Crawlers and my dad and I drove over to the Cafe to eat and get warm at 11am.

Of course as soon as we left, he catches a nice one and called it a day ::) All in all it was good to hang out with my dad for a few hours. The bait and wait isn't really the way I like to trout fish but it was better than nothing :) Time to get The Cyclops wet again ;)

Tough morning with being frozen but another memory made.

Fishing while freezing is not fun, but fishing with pops really makes it worthwhile!
