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!

Here are a couple videos: here and here.

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.

We’ll definitely take out the kayaks in search of larger fish.
