Fishing in December

It's only day 2 of Christmas break and already the kids are begging for something to do.  Noah has been begging to go fishing.  I managed to rig 2 of our poles and reluctantly took the kids fishing this morning at North Lake.  What was I thinking?!  It was overcast, chilly, and I had forgotten my jacket.  I prepared the kids that due to the weather that the fish probably wouldn't bite, but I was wrong.  Within the first few minutes, Alora snagged a big carp.  While we trying to reel that one in, Jackson set down his pole (not knowing he ALSO had a fish) and it quickly disappeared beneath the murky water.  We never could find his pole, or that stinkin' fish!   

Overall, the kids caught 5 large carp.  Despite being cold, they were pretty excited at their efforts.
