Mayo the camp horse here yet again. You know, I don't like fishing myself (maybe thumbs would help) but I know you and your family like to go fishing. One time, when I got near the pond to get a drink a fish jumped and scared me. I slipped in! I yelled "I've fallen, and I can't giddyup!"

I hear you like to catch trout in cold White River in Arkansas. I also hear you are one of the best tadpole catchers in all of the midwest. I sure can't wait to hear some more stories of your adventures! I'm going to go roll around in the dirt and slap some flies with my tail.

You are becoming such a good little fisherman!  You have had lots of fun fishing off of the dock with the Schlicht's.  Pretty soon you will be able to put your own bait on, so Christopher doesn't have to do it for you :)   We are so glad you have been having fun at Camp Stallion.  We are looking forward to lots of family camping and fishing trips this summer.

Love you lots,
Mom, Dad, and Austin

I wrote about out great fishing trip in Pensacola last time, where we all caught a ton of fish! We even had a fish fry that evening & enjoyed our catch of the day. However, we shouldn’t forget about all the ‘other’ fishing experiences where they all got away or there were technical difficulties. A few weeks ago it was so windy we were having issues maneuvering the pontoon boat away from the other boats & dock. Then you got stung by a wasp & the  fishing pole broke! We just called it day & had s’mores that night.  Can’t wait until our next fishing excursion!

We love you & hope you are having a great time at Camp!

Love,
Mom, Dad, Olivia & Chloe

Hi Eavan! I loved fishing when I was a kid, and I have happy memories of fishing off the dock at the red cabin, catching lots of blue gill, and using hot dogs and real worms for bait! I also have some very happy memories of eating s’mores by the fire when I went camping with my Grandma and Grandpa Cable. I hope you will have lots of memories of camping at Lake Mar, lake trips with the Bonds, and of course the red cabin.  Do you remember the trip to red cabin when all you wanted to do was play with the bait? You called them your little squishies! We love you and hope camp stallion has been fun! I am very proud of you the way you have adapted to home schooling and all the changes happening right now. Love, Mom 💕

Want to hear a funny story about fishing? When I was probably about your age, Papa Bob took me fishing in some ponds that were not too far from the house I grew up in. Well, I caught a BIG fish!! At least it was big to me. There was a rule that you couldn’t keep a fish unless it was at least 12 inches long, otherwise you had to throw it back in the pond. We measured and it was...11 inches. 😢 I was so sad that I couldn’t keep my fish and I really wanted to show it to Granny, but she was still at home. So Papa Bob put the fish in a big bucket of water and we drove home with it, showed it to Granny, and drove back to the pond to put it back. I was so proud of that big fish.

I hope we can go fishing again soon!

Love,
Mom

Here's a quick video of my dad and I teaching Aubrey how to lawn fish.  She caught a real stick bass that day *wink*wink*

I have a very fun fact about fishing!  My grandfather was the co-inventor of the Zebco Rod & Reel which is a very popular fishing rod in America today.  He taught me to fish when I was just 3 years old.  My favorite type of fish to catch are bass and bluegill.  So now you know a fun fact about Mrs. Nolen!  I hope you have a memorable end to 2nd grade💝🤗

Love,
Mrs. Nolen

The "tail" of our fishing adventures may be far fetched, but they all were true to us.  Especially the time, we landed a  500 lb tuna on our 40lb test line....can't believe he got away from us, it still haunts us all to this day. We will return with a vengeance this summer to claim what was taken from us.  The fishing memories with your brother and sisters will last a life time.  But above all, as you grow older and wiser, remember this.  It all comes down to how you cut up the hot dogs as bait, and even though we don't live in Winterset Woods, they have the best pond for fishing....shhhhh

Love,
Mom & Dad
