Her first fish ever I snuck up on her drifting worms under a float by herself Her excitement when she hooked into this one 5 feet from shore is engraved in my mind forever on this one> Splashhopper and Botbot

GREAT pic

took my daughter fishing for the first time last year.. she was 10... I had just got back into the sport the previous fall.. it's our favorite thing to do together now. I take lots of pictures of her in action ... working it learning where to search for pike catching a pre-season smallie( one week too early... bummer) and now she has introduced HER two friends to fishing too>> and her Taekwondo friend We are having a blast.. even when: " you are taking too many pictures daddy" and last but not least... her first fish ever >> She doesn't care about the size of the fish,.... it's all about numbers for her..." I beat daddy again, mommy"..LOL Splashhopper I love it

great pics.... looks like it was a great day for you two

nice smallies.... I might try rigging the tubes I bought Last Year weedless and drag em across some weeds or Pond Scum thanks for the idea

bring on the scum... if it's gonna be like that

The smile says it all

can't wait for MY new camera... I am in

great pics.. great painting amazing cast .. i "almost" want one too

Top-water..... splish splash... make some noise... let them find YOU,, instead of the other way around

I was thinking the same thing... better not play any poker with this guy

she is shopping... on her own money even i hate shopping !

"Made a run to Guelph to visit Anna in hospital this morning. Was there early enough to get in an hour's fishing before the visit. Only hit 2 pools but I'm happy with the results." Nothing like centering the mind with some fishing before taking on the serious things in life.. Prayers for Anna from London.

hey.. you "hear" like I do... she didn't say those exact words.... that's just what I "thought" she was telling me

there you go.... mentioning an "addiction"... geeesh.. how many more times do I have to say it.. I AM NOT ADDICTED TO TOP-WATER FISHING lol

welcome aboard... fyi,,, we like reports with pics

great fish.... i really have to try that experience

i like the action of the lizard too... been "Texas rigging".... nothing caught yet.. .but i think it is just a matter of time with that one

hmmmm...... "used water" more great advice from this board i have seen some of that and never gave it a second thought.... duhhhh

How do I use jigs in the slop ? Won't they get hung up?

hmmmmm... I would have to kill ya if I told ya... on the INTERNET !

@ Splashhopper: Are the fish really eating the frog, or just knocking it under the slop? If they're knocking it under the slop, it could be that you are retrieving a too fast and they're having trouble zeroing in, or it could be that they are rejecting it at very close range, and you need to try a different color. If they're really eating it, maybe you're waiting too long; a couple seconds is enough. It's also possible that, again, you're fishing too fast, and their only getting a piece of the frog, like a leg. Try slowing down your retrieve to a two-inch pull every two seconds or so. I slowed it down like you suggested here.... and got a PB LM bass for me! Check out my latest post ( drove 15 minutes....)

hey thanks for the pics,.... i hadn't thought of putting a jig head inside the lizards I have in my box..

nice report ,,,, thanks for the journey
