Eagle Creek Guide Service- Michael Thompson . I took my kids out with him sand bass fishing a few times when they were young and we caught a lot of fish every time. SB hit like a freight train and fight all the way to the live well so they are sure fun to catch and Michael is a clean cut good man who won't teach your son any bad habits. Of course there are some great crappie guides around who fit the same criteria. Ranger09 and Eufaula Boy are both excellent. I mention sand bass because I think they were created to hook kids on fishing...... Then you can slowly wean them off the trash fish and introduce them to the one true fish.
