A few weeks before we left to go to Drummond Island John started checking the fishing reports online. He told me that everyone was reporting that the Cisco were already biting and would likely have moved on to Canada by the time we arrived over the 4th of July. Usually the Cisco are biting best on Drummond Island right around the 4th of July. It had been so warm this year that the fish arrived early and would only stick around for a couple of weeks.
We were disappointed. The boys were really looking forward to fishing, but we figured that we would try fishing for little pan fish and minnows and the kids would still enjoy themselves.
So we were thrilled when John took the boat out and found the last of the Cisco hot spots. All you had to do was drive toward Canada until you saw the big pack of boats. We all went Cisco fishing and everybody was lucky enough to catch at least one fish!
One day John and I took all 4 boys fishing. I had some serious doubts about how well it would work but it was a lot of fun. Several boats drove up to see how we were doing with all of the kids and say hi. A few older fishermen told us to enjoy the boys while they are still little and enjoy hanging out with us. We get that sentiment a lot when we have all of the boys out together. We know that we are lucky and sure like sharing these fun experiences with our 4 little guys!

Today I took the boys to Walmart and we stopped by to check out the fish in the pet department. As the boys we "ohhing and ahhing" about which fish were bigger and faster Sam looked at me and said "Mom, I want to eat all those fish!". Everybody within earshot nearly fell over laughing. That boy is such a ham!
