So, despite the cool weather (high 50's), we decided to try and fish Newcastle. It was sunny in Cedar City when we left, but blowing and raining when we got to the reservoir. We were being blown around so much, we couldn't position the boat to fish. Jake is working on his fishing activity for Cubs, so he threaded his own rod, tied on his own jig, and while his Dad and I were setting up our gear, made a cast, caught a fish, took it off the hook and released it by himself. What a guy. He loves this stuff, but he was sure cold. It was too hard to hold the boat in position so we clambered onto the shore and fished from the rocks. It was a good choice, and we caught a few nice fish like the one Jake is holding in this picture.
We were really getting whipped by the wind and having a hard time, but were smiling in spite of the challenges. Jake loves to handle everyone's fish and gets really mad if someone else releases one. He took his Dad to task when at the last second a nice fish he landed flipped back into the water.
We tried to find some shelter in the rocks, but when Bean caught this one we had both anchors out and were still be dragged along the shore. We hung it up right after this shot. Lots more fun ahead this summer.
