Great day fishing

[fishinchicks]

Greetings from sunny Orlando! My hubby gave me a guided fishing trip at Disney for Valentine's Day, scheduled for this afternoon. Four of us went on the pontoon with our guide, and had a fun time. Since we are pretty new to fishing, he taught us some of the finer techniques of jigging, and of fishing with shiners. Disney has a contract with Abu Garcia, so we used Abu spinning reels, and Berkley rods. We boated six fish...my hubby got one, our niece caught one, our youngest daughter caught one, and I caught three. We didn't catch huge fish, but the point was that we were catching bass in 83 degree temps while our neighbors were under a wind chill warning.

We left home on the 11th, and have gone to Lowe's Motor Speedway, Bass Pro Shops, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Gone Fishing, and tomorrow we leave for Daytona to watch the Busch series race, and on Sunday the Daytona 500. I love the way my sweetie plans a vacation!

If I can figure out how to post a picture, I have a good one of our daughter holding her fish.

Take care!

This is fishchicks daughter Laura, who is 11. She thought this was the best part of her vacation! The face tells it all!

We just made it home after a marathon couple of days in the van. We put on 1040 miles yesterday. The hardest part was coming home to ice on all the lakes. We had fun fishing, but now we have the fishing fever really bad! Looks like it is time to get out the tackle boxes and do some reorganizing, and find places for all the stuff we bought at Bass Pro shops. That won't fill up enough time until May, though!
