My daughter's boyfriend took me fishing at his aunt's cabin/pond. It was in KY and I live in WV. Probably around 50 miles away.
I got up at 5 am and he drove me to the pond. It wasn't a real large pond but OK. The aunt's husband said they loved black worms so of course I put a black wacky worm on & the boyfriend put a dark purple one on.
We didn't get to the pond till after 8 am. I didn't realize it was that out of the way. I thought oh boy I'll catch alot of fish.
Well I didn't catch anything. He caught 1 small bass on the purple worm & I changed over to a Rapala & caught a small one but it jumped up & got off the hook. I did get another strike (but nothing).
I figured it was just too hot & muggy. It was around 79 degrees when I got up at 5 am.
We fished till about noon & I started getting sleepy, so in the meantime he found a live worm & fished with a bobber & never even got a nibble. We gave up.
But that was nice that he took me fishing for my birthday present.
I drove home & plopped down on couch & slept for 3 hrs. then drove back to daughter's house for my birthday presents & daughter ordered Mexican food for our meal. Since they didn't have eat-in service, they did have delivery. A tornado watch warning come up, so I drove home.
I won't want to go fishing at that pond again unless the weather will be alot cooler. They did have a nice dock with comfortable chairs and a roof over the dock.
It was a nice birthday, but would have been excellent if we'd caught alot of fish. (Maybe another time)
