    Not really a related story , but its one of very few fond memories i have of fishing with my dad….

    That canal that runs up to the power plant. My uncle used to work there, and somehow got us permission to fish from that dock. Well my dad took me and my brother to fish there, and after a long morning of nothing, i was just hanging my lure over the side of the dock into the water, walking back and forth dragging it… My dad was like ” boy knock it off, you arent going to catch anything fishing like that!” No sooner did he finishing speaking when, bam, i caught a nice sized red fish! From that day forward anytime we went fishing, id question his advice, which i’m sure drove him nuts! He wasn’t really into fishing the way i was. In fact aside from fishing from a rental camp’s pier, that is the only time i ever caught fish with him lol.

    Dont know why im sharing that story… i guess because every time i see that canal i think… ” i showed him!” haha
