Fishing Fun

Durant Nature Park Raleigh, NC
A great day for fishing at Durant Nature Park

Cousins...They're all cousins!
Sunday Morning Fisherkids

lil fish
Matthew was the first to land a fish. Catch and release. Allowed the fish to grow into a winner.

even smaller fish
Olivia was re-energized to try to fish again.

We took the kids fishing this morning.  We first all went out for breakfast at Spring Cafe.  Afterwards, we met Dave B. and his kids at the Durant Nature Park.  We fished for almost 3 hours.  However, the fish weren’t biting. We did see plenty big one’s swim right in front of us.  Not fun to be taunted by large bass.  Matthew and Olivia were the only one’s to catch anything.  A lil success made the day well worth it. The kids had a blast tho.  They followed up fishing with a swim at TPC Wakefield in the afternoon.  Fun day. Very Hot though! Another high 90’s day.
