Derik's Birthday Fishing Day!

Saturday was Derik's 27th birthday! He'll love me for announcing that! :) He had the day off and decided he wanted to go fishing so my mom, Steven, Derik, Brandon, and I headed up to Rockport early Saturday morning and tried our skills there for a few hours. We had no luck. Not even a nibble!! We decided to try somewhere else and came up on a river so we decided to try it for a while. We sat on a bridge and fished off it and saw tons of fishing jumping so we thought we'd have some luck. It took us resorting to grasshoppers before we finally started to catch them. Brandon was the 1st to catch one and it was a Brown Trout and about 14 inches! The next one he hooked and let me reel in! I don't eat fish so I decided to just let it go but it was pretty close to the same size as his. Mom caught a few also but after so long they just stopped biting. Little butts. We took our two fish that we'd kept and mom cooked them up for dinner. We headed to Farminton Pond for a little night fishing and Brandon caught a tiny little 3-4 incher! That was the extent of our luck there! It was a fun day of fishing and spending time with each other though! Happy Birthday Derik!! Love ya!
