jwl Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Headed out to the trailer on Monday for a quick little trip to break up the hub-bub and get some fishing in. As usual it was a great time. This time my kids got in on a bunch of the fun goffing around with my ultralight rod and catching a pile of panfish off the dock for a few laughs. The bite was fast and furious and hard to keep up with the worms. probably cost me about 5 bucks an hour in worms this way but watching the kids have a ball was well worth it They didn't stop until they got the panfish grandslam Our 13 year old taking her little sister down on the dock for a few casts first up..a pumkinseed rock bass my little one wanted to keep a couple "pets" next up...bluegill then to top it off for the panfish grandsalm out of the lake...a perch now my little one collected a couple more "pets" of couse she wanted to play with them for a bit before we let them go ta da!!!!...finally got one... . The kids had a great time goofing around and it was nice to see one of the older kids take some time out with her little sister to have some fun and share some greatmemories along the way. Since we where making this trip a good time for the kids we decided to have a little extra fun..so me and my buddy ran into town for some errands....what did we get???...first stop was the bait store so we could replenish the kid's worm supply and get a few more chubs for the adventure. Then of course we "had" to go to the liquor store for some big kid pops, then after that..what mixes well with some good booze???...yepper you guess it...explosives got a whack of fireworks to vlast off for the kids before bed and you know you did your job as the parents when the kid's day ends like this . couldn't resist getting a pic in there too...nothing to brag about as far as entries for the team goes, but got into a few fish for the couple days as wellm that is when the wind and crap wether would let us out on the water, I was doing a bit of meat hunting to top up a bit in the freezer for an upcoming fish fry so I decided to keep this one for the table.

jwl Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Was that a "white bucket" I saw,full of fish none the less. well sort of off white , bottom half of the minnow bucket we let the little one humour herself by keeping a couple little ones in there for a bit..man was she bummed when I told her we had to dump them back in off our dock....don't worry I teach my kids about respecting our resources and conservation along the way, I am on the executive commity for a local to me conservation club and get involved in a few projects each year for fish/wildlife/habitat enhancement...nuttin wrong with letting a 5 year old have some fun with a couple little fish for a few minutes that she caught with her sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Bait Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hey JWL, Great job. I think that's the best way to get the kids into fishing a bit - we probably all got started that way as well. Just let 'em go and have fun chasing little guys all day - keeps the younguns' interested. The fact that your 13 year old supports the younger one is just a great bonus too. Aren't 13 year olds supposed to be too cool for everything? Nice to see. Nice Pike BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
