Fishing with Mechel
Mechel and I went fishing today near Blauvelt. Caught an 11” Yellow Perch!

Fishin’ and Boatin’
We put in at Haverstraw Bay park and motored around on the Hudson for a while!

Fishin’
Mechel saw a fellow fishing during our North County Trailway ride, and decided he wanted a fishing pole. Trish bought a pole for Mechel and Baila, and they went fishing at Willow Tree Park this morning while I was biking, but they didn’t catch anything.
This afternoon, we went to the last place we went kayaking to fish. I had to convince Trish to bring a bucket, as she was sure we wouldn’t catch anything. On my first cast with Baila’s Barbie fishing pole I caught a 3″ Pumpkinseed! He looked like this.
Great, now what?
Thankfully, a fellow happened by who showed us how to get the hook out.
Later, I caught a 5″ Yellow Perch. Trish got the hook out with some difficulty, and we put him in the bucket.
Baila in the bushes:
We’ll definitely take out the kayaks in search of larger fish.
