Fishing

Next to the game of baseball, casting for crappies or "paper-mouths" is probably my favorite thing in the world to do! This is getting to be one of the best times in mid Iowa to catch crappies and small pan fish. Catching, cooking and everything that is good about fishing is meaningful to me.
If you have kids, learn to fish. Buy one or two of those cheap poles at Walmart and pick up some bobbers, hooks and a dozen worms.
All kids need to catch a fish even if it's that ONE little blue-gill you catch off that dock down by the city pond. Watch what that little girls big blue eyes do when she sees her first fish hanging by that hook! She will light up and show you that real special side of her that only comes out in times like that. Kinda like that first Easter egg or the first time she rides a bike without training wheels. Take your daughter along with your boys and GO FISHING!
