Port Jordan - April 13 AM

OK,

First trip for the soft water season - everything works great including both motors and my new Depth Raider....all electronics etc.

Started late....kids took their sweet time....what a nice day out there...first time on the boat with both my boys and me alone (without their mother). That test also went well, so we are all ready for the upcoming boat season

Both had plenty of laughs, play, sleep and everything else in between...even managed to lose couple fish at the net ha ha ha

Oh well there were plenty for loosing and keeping few...

From 9:30am until 10:30 was the best bite...then is slowed a bit with the wind changing to NE...we hardly went deeper than 20 fow...body baits on flat line and leadcore did the damage...had one rigger down but there was nobody there

 

As I said we've lost few fish at my new (HUGE) net...it was too heavy for Jordan to hold...let few more go...and kept few for my new smoker....

Here are few shots from the day....

 

 

 

 

Jordan got tired after holding this one for the picture so we skipped the rest of the photos

Both kids are asking me when is the next time....so I am sure it must have been good day for them as well

 

 

Cheers,

Ice Fisherman

Fantastic bud, your kids look ecstatic!

 

I wish more than ever I could have joined you. Darn work!

And that's what it's all about!! Look at those smiles!! I guarantee you, those boys will remember getting out fishing with daddy and they will cherish those memories.
