Our youngest daughter started asking me to take her fishing after she got back from camp early this summer. Well, weekends are always busy at our house and my standard reply became “maybe next weekend.” Her persistence increasing with each passing week. I figured I’d better get her out fishin before she exploded. Saturday morning […]
