Dads & Daughters fishing report
My friend wanted to get his daughter out on the lake fishing. Because our kids are good friends, we planned an afternoon in my boat this monday. These girls are not fisherwomen by trade, they like boys, phones, and makeup. My goal was to get the kids on to some gills because kids can watch a bobber pretty easy. I prerigged some slip bobbers (not a method I use - ever) and we hit the lake. This lake is one I have fished on 3 times. I had some ideas where to go, read some stuff on this site and made a plan. We pulled up to a spot, and took about 2 mintues to catch the first one, a 9.5 inch bluegill. The action wasn't heavy, but all the fish we caught were big for this area - a couple of 10" bluegills! We even ran into some crappie hungry for half-crawlers dangled in front of them. The biggest crappie was about 12 inches, most were around 10-11 inches. Basically we only threw back one fish as being too small. The girls had a good time on the lake, and we left with 14 fish for my friend in 2.5 hours of fishing with the girls doing the vast majority of the catching. This picture isn't of the biggest ones, but they both hooked up with fish at the same time. Great day!
