Lake Fork, TX

Last weekend, Chad and I went to Lake Fork (in Texas) to meet up with my friend, Tina, and her boyfriend, Derek. Chad and Derek both have Skeeter bass boats, so obviously both are avid anglers. We dropped Avie off with her Nonna and Papa (they live about an hour and a half from Lake Fork) and we stayed at the Lake Fork Marina for the weekend. It was a very convenient place to stay...they have an awesome restaurant there where we ate every single meal (and the best pie EVER...even had pie and coffee for breakfast the last day) and a store for anything you might need. Then the boat ramp was just yards away from our room too. Chad and I don't know this lake AT ALL so we're glad we were with folks who knew it WELL.

Here is Tina from a FAR distance with a fish she just caught. Our boats stayed together since we don't know our way around the lake, but we kept our distance. Seriously, the lake is so big it felt like we were in an ocean.

Kiss my bass!





My honey bringin in a fish.

Yay Chad! His first one of the weekend!

This man LOVES to fish. I just enjoy watching him sometimes.

Reelin one in! This is Chad, by the way.

This is how far we were from them most of the time.

Hey Chad!

So Saturday afternoon, Tina's boyfriend's friend had the idea of a mini-tournament. The person who caught the biggest fish under 16" by 9 pm wins. Yeah, I said 9 pm. We fished from 8:30 am-9 pm. No kidding. We would've been out there at 5:30 am but slept in because we stayed up so late the night before. Well...guess who won the tourney? ME! I caught a 2 lb 3 oz fish at 15". This is the new X-Tools scale I got Chad for Father's Day (an eary present!).

Ok, this is literally like 8pm and it's still broad daylight. They fish til dark.

We skipped fishing Sunday because we had a long drive home...and we couldn't wait to see this little munchkin. See her pulling up on things? Yay Avie Drue!
