Went out with my oldest this morning and the first thing we see when walking down the stairs is a fox running down beach so that was pretty cool. A couple days before we got this photo of a hawk taking a bath in front of our place after scaring the squirrels to death...

So anyway we head out to fish and after about 15 mins I end up getting an ok bass...

and a little while later my son gets a mid 20's inch pike...

Both on gold spinnerbaits.
We also got to watch two falcons (I'm guessing) fly overhead for a bit...I know where they live so I'm gonna try to get some pics of them some day too.
All in all a great way to start the day before work.
