fatherof3 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 With the way fishing was lately my son and I decided to try a new spot on the Grand river.I did not realize it would be a half hour walk from the car to the river. What a long walk with a 6 year old. Anyway, got to the spot,waded in and started fishing. The water was higher here than in Paris so my hopes were up.To sum everything up my son fell in the water 3 times, refused to walk across shallow rapids and whined for the half hour walk back to the car. understood and felt for him. Went 3 for 4 with 2 tiny bass and this guy that put up a great fight. Want to try this spot some more when I do not have kids with me as it looked promising.Anyway, going back out in a bit to try some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikehunter Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 LOL, sounds like your son had a day he won't soon forget. I hope he had on his bathing suit. Looks like you found a nice spot to fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Pike Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Oh I can relate to that kind of a day kids whining sounds familiar thats why I take 5 trips per year with the boys no wife no kids no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Great spot! Your son is a trooper, I've done a similar walk (actually from looking at your pics it may have been the same spot). If it is the same spot, then I've caught some really decent smallies out of there.. this one being the biggest: (crappy cell phone shot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto_Angler Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I remember when I was a kid doing a similar walk with my dad. Only he was the one doing the whining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
