Fishing God's Country with my boys (pic heavy)

Finally had a chance to come home and fish some Hill Country waters. We had been planning this trip for awhile and everyday my guys (3.5 and 5.5 yrs) would ask are taking a plane to Texas today? Finally the day came and we weren't disappointed. Got to fish 5 days; we hit Boerne city lake, Cibolo nature area, Pedernales Falls, Guadalupe State park, and the Comal. We couldn't have had better fishing conditions and caught well over 200 fish during our trip. We aught just about everything that's available; bass, sunfish, rios, catfish, white bass, drum, and gar. My guys are fearless troopers and followed Dada through brush and water (both know how to swim well). They have been fishing since they were 6 months old, strapped in a baby bjorn, and can't get enough. Most fish were caught on worm tipped jigs and river minnows. Was great to be home and see the rivers in such great shape. I can't wait till they are old enough to handle rivers like the Nueces, Frio and Sabinal, I just hope Dada can still make it by then.. They are already asking when we can go back to "the creek" (Cibolo park), hopefully can make it back in Oct. Sorry for all the pics but I'm kinda a proud Dada and like sharing their accomplishments.
View heading to the Ped, will never get tired of driving through God's Country!


My guys exploring the Cibolo.




The little guy with a couple of redbreasts.



Biggest bass of the day.

Caught a little of everything at Boerne city lake.










Lots of greenies and rios from the Cibolo marsh pond.



Good times on the Ped. My big guy had been wanting to catch a gar for a year since our last trip. We had lots of runs then but didnt have the right gear to catch them. We made up for it this time and he must have caught about 20 of those slimy things.






Wiped out, dreaming about the next trip. Thanks for looking. Tight lines.

That's what it is all about right there. Great trip and great pics.

Doesnt get any better than fishing with the kids and watching them catch fish.
Great job, keep up the good work.

You are one lucky Dada right there, sir. Building memories for a life time is what fatherhood is all about. Even after you're gone, your sons will remember fishing trips with there father. Thanks for sharing.

Awesomeness!!

“Priceless”

Great pics. Memories for a lifetime.

Greatness!

Awesome. They never out grow it either...I'm heading to RI tomorrow and plan on doing a lot of fishing with my dad.

One of the best posts I’ve seen on TFF. Great job Dad and boys !!

It just don't get any better! Great job Dad and to your two young boys!

^^Well said^^^

Thanks folks for all the replies. These boys have the fishing bug in a bad way and I hope they never get cured. As much as I love catching fish I get just as much if not more satisfaction watching them make a catch. And I love that they are so adventurous and just jump right in. Donald, thanks for the suggestion, I will submit a couple of photos for consideration for the cover.

like other poster said...one of the best post Ive seen in a while
my kids are older now but this is "the good times" when they just like catching crawdads and being with pops walking around in a creek...great job dad!

Awesome!

Absolutely wonderful. Tears in my eyes and a smile on my face... Congrats on the brood and being a great Dad.

One word. "FANTASTIC"!

Good job dad!

Thanks for sharing....

Yes indeed thank you for sharing.. Thanks for being a great father..

Jaymzinsa, your post with your boys enjoying fishing together brought a smile to my face! I remember back when me and my best friend use to fish together, when we were young boys growing up. You’re a good dad to be taking them on such great adventures together! They will never forget the fun and excitement of fishing, with the opportunities you’ve given them . Good Job,!

Very cool!

Great job dad!

Priceless
