Fishing at Scofield

Friday night we closed shop early to head down to Scofield with Dan's family, Grandma and Grandpa Jensen, and two cousins Josh and Quinton. On our way down we got a call from Grandpa saying he needed more rainbow powerbait, so we stopped at Wal-Mart--they were cleaned out! We stopped at big five--they were also cleaned out. We stopped at Cal Ranch, and luckily they had a few cans left! By the time we got to camp everybody except Grandma was already out of the lake so we didn't get to fish Friday night. We helped prepare dinner, which was delicious! We had hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, corn on the cob, watermelon, chips and dip... and much more. After dinner we chatted, ate smore's, and played cards. Bed time came and of course there were a bunch of drunks yelling and being obnoxious all night. It wasn't the best night's sleep...

We woke up bright and early Saturday morning and spent about five hours out on the lake. I was catching fish left and right for about the first two hours. It was very exciting! But after that I caught nothing. That's pretty much how it went for all of us. Around noon we decided to switch from bate to spinners and were able to catch a few more. There were also a bunch of fish that would follow the spinner in all the way to the boat but not get hooked. I tried getting them with the net just for fun, but they were too fast. We let all of them go because I am not a huge trout fan, and it's just a lot easier that way. Grandpa Jensen has a big boat, and Dan, Brent, and his dad recently bought a small fishing boat so everybody was able to be out on a boat fishing! Dan, Brent, Bridgette and I had the small boat all to ourselves Saturday! Being in a boat instead of on shore is much more fun!

Lots of waiting patiently, and lots of catches to make it all worth the wait!

I am looking forward to more fishing excursions this summer!
