The wind finally died down today and the weather was almost perfect, so I decided to get out and check a few spots on Minnetonka. I packed a bag with snacks and toys and Sarah and I headed out to the lake.

Water temps were in the high 60's and Gills are on the beds. I didnt get to fish a lot but I did manage one decent fish off a dock and a couple smaller fish off some clumps of millfoil. All three were caught on a YUM Dinger stick bait. Sarah even took a break fishing for toys in the live well to reel one of the fish in. Although she had no interest in touching the fish, she did enjoy watching them swim away. A two year old fan of catch and release I guess. 

We got the boat up on plane whenever Sarah got bored or when she asked to go fast, but after a few hours we had to head home for nap time. I have had some great days on the water in the past but this one was special. Sarah has been on the boat with me in the past but today she settled in like never before and thoroughly enjoyed herself. And we caught some fish! can you beat that?

I don't have any pics of the fish we caught but I do have a few of Sarah playing in the livewell.



If you want to see more pics, check out Sarah's blog in the next day or two.
