"I caught one!"Last week (a week ago Saturday), the weather was so gorgeous that we drove down to Lake Blackshear to take the boys fishing on the boat. They'd been fishing before off of a dock, but we hadn't been brave enough to take them on the boat to fish. When we arrived we let the boat down into the water and all got in it, Shane tried to crank the motor and it wouldn't work. It had just had power just a few minutes before because he had to let down the motor into the water. While drifting around in the water, Shane checked everything thinking it must be a bad connection somewhere. He couldn't find anything so we ended up just using the trolling motor to just ride around close to the boat ramp and let the boys attempt to catch a fish. To our surprise Dalton caught a fish on his line. We were surprised because of all the noise and boats that were nearby because we were so close to the boat ramp. Anyway, he was excited to catch a fish. We had to cut the trip short because we weren't sure how long the trolling motor would last. Shane had to literally pull the boat back up onto the boat trailer by a rope. He's seriously the strongest guy I know. Shane began looking at the motor and finally saw that one of the fuses in the motor was blown. He replaced it with a different one, and the motor started back up. At least we found out what was wrong with it. Maybe next time Shane will really be able to show the boys how to fish, but they still seemed to have a good time just being out there.
