I recently went fishing with my dad at Glen Elder Lake in north central Kansas.  I’m really not much help with getting the boat ready or hooking it up or anything like that.  My dad does all the work.  I’m just there for the fishing.   What a girl!  By the way, I do bait my own hook and take off my own fish, so there!

We went by an interesting “tourist” attraction on the way to the lake in Cawker City, KS, that I’m sure you all are dying to see.

It’s the World’s Largest BALL of TWINE! 

And then we went on to The Little Bait Shop for minnows, notice the sign!  We didn’t HONK or HOLLAR….I hope that was OK?

OH, wait!  I CAN pull the boat trailer OUT of the water and park the truck.  That’s pretty good, isn’t it?

Not a bad lake day, except for that Kansas wind that comes up when you least expect it.

And well, this one’s just for fun!

This is what we were catching that day…..lots of crappie!

I will admit, I do think it’s kind of pathetic answering a cell phone while catching a fish, out in the middle of nowhere, but hey, when kids call, you gotta answer!

At the end of the day, we had 30 crappie in the boat.  That’s not counting ALL we missed or the ones we put back.

THAT was a fun day!  Thanks Dad and HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
