| Grandma and Wade Fishing |
Day 4 (7/7/19)
In a summer of bad weather, today was perfect. We decided to
go with our son, daughter in law and grandson to Harrington beach for a walk.
Just as we were about to start walking around the quarry lake we came across a
downed tree that had the bark shredding off from it. I thought it would come in
handy for an art project so I grabbed a bunch. Our grandson Wade peeled off a
strip about a quarter inch wide by about four feet long. Before long he had
found a stick and went about building himself a fishing pole. At first all he
could find for bait was a leaf so he tied that on the end and we looked for a
place to fish. Harrington quarry pond has all kinds of bass that you can see
from looking over the edge. As we were fishing with the leaf somebody found a
broken lure with a hook attached so we tied it to the end of the line. The fish
seemed very interested in it. Then Wade found a bobber with a little bit of
line on it. We tied the bobber on the end of the strip of bark with the line
and the lure beyond that. I was surprised by how curious the fish were.
Eventually one managed to get hooked and we hauled in a small pan fish. Wade
was overjoyed at catching a fish and Grandpa was dumbfounded. What had started
out as a flight of fancy ended in a successful fish story.
