Fun day fishing


Recommended Posts

Not sure if any of you are looking for some fun fast action (especially good for kids) but the White Bass (yes its legal to fish them now) are going good on the St. Croix. Really easy and mindless fishing as well. I spent a few hours with my two girls trying to find a half dozen crappies in a lake - I went to the river with a friend and we had pretty good action so I know where I'm headed on the next family outing.

I have had my boat out twice now, once with the Lakejumpers and once with a very special friend. I had fun both times. I went out on Bald Eagle with Char last weekend and we had 30mph winds. Got soaked trying to go across the lake, kinda reminded me of Mille Lacs laugh Now my boat is full of snow... cry I forgot to put the cover on.....

Its been awful quiet around here lately. I've been busy chasing big toothies and was going to put up some photos of me and friends with big fish but decided to show you one of my tax deductions;) instead. My older daugher is a total princess who likes to drive the boat and eat doughnuts but this is my little "Musky-ette" who is already fine touching leeches and taking her own fish off. Gotta love the 5 year old tossing the big stuff... Hope you all have a great weekend.

I remember taking my litle ones to some pond in Lake Forest, Ill., not far from where we lived back then. BG had bought Power Ranger rods for the boys, who were about 2 and 4. Maggie got a Cinderala rod. The bobbers on each weren't subtle, but Eric and I never really had a chance to fish. Their unacceptable bobbers had called in the little fish. I stood back and laughed as Eric unhooked fish, baited lines, tried to pick up his own pole just to give up and spend the whole afternoon playing Dad. I laughed, left him to it and took off on my rollerblades. When I got back, he was smiling and laughing and his pole was still leaning on the truck unused.

Good day.

Those were the best days. A Cinderella bobber and pretty pink reel and Eric would have Maggie out whenever he could. SAhe came home one day and ws thrilled cuz she has caught a fish. "He didn't eat my bait mom, I snagged him through the back." Eric just didn't have the heart to tell her she had aknowledged her minnow. Yep, life is good.

Some of my best childhood memories were when my dad would rent a pontoon so the whole family could fit in the boat and everyone used cane poles. All the fish were thrown into a gunny sack and that night was always a big fish fry. That was quite a few years ago but it still brings a smile to my face. I forget just what birthday that I did receive my first fishing pole but it was a Zebco 202. That fishing pole was a real fish catching machine back in its days and later on I upgraded to the 404. All fond memories grin
