Village Academy - Lake Ida 4/6/2012

                                            Fishing in the rain




                                     Taking a break, but still fishing!


This morning, around 8:30pm, the students from Village Academy met me at the boat ramp at Lake Ida Park.  Following a lesson on kayak safety, we packed up our kayaks and hit the lake in search of fish.  We paddled across the lake to the little bay by the Playhouse, and after about 20 minutes of catching nothing from the kayaks we decided to paddle to behind the Playhouse and fish from land.  Blake was the first to get his line in the water, and within 15 seconds I heard him yell "FISH ON!!!".  He landed it quickly, and it was a bass.  We fished around the back of the Playhouse for the next few hours, and caught plenty of fish, all while trying to take cover during all the rain and lightening storms.  The students caught 5 largemouth bass, and more bluegills and sunfish than we could count.  We caught all the bluegills and sunfish on earthworm, except for one bluegill who decided it was hungry enough to eat a small piece of a purple plastic worm under a bobber.  The bass were caught using fat earthworms, white Bass Assassins, and dark green plastic worms.


Once the wind started picking up, we all decided to make the long hard paddle back to the boat ramp, and hopefully miss the next storm which was on the horizon.  Despite all the rain and wind, the students had a blast paddling around on the kayaks and catching fish.  Two of the students even caught the first fish of their life.  One of those students fished for 2 hours before he caught his first fish, all while he watched fish being caught all around him; but he did not give up, and it paid off as he caught his first fish and many more after that!
