    Default Granddaughter's Fishing field trip


    I volunteered for my 11 year old granddaughter's fishing trip with her Fifth grade class Tuesday. It was a blast, most fun I've ever had without catching a fish. Charlotte had a great time catching bluegill and highlight was her first catfish, a nice one about 5 lbs. I was busy non stop for 3.5 hours from 9:30 -1 pm unhooking fish and untangling lines for her classmates. I gave away some jigs to some of the kids who wanted to try jigs instead of hot dogs and worms and some caught their very first fish using my jigs. Lot's of very happy kids at the end of the day. I brought something home with me as well. Chiggers !! Treating those with Tea Tree oil I purchased here on this site, it works!

    Are you sure they were chiggers? 5th graders have lots of bugs! (I used to teach 5th grade) Good on you for sharing your time and expertise. Your granddaughter and her friends will always remember that day!

    You’re a more patient man than I Jim, extra good job!! As already said, the smile tells the story. They may fish for life but they’ll remember that day. Glad it all went smooth.
