Leecher Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) What a great way to celebrate my 47th today by sharing the shoreline with my daughter The plan was to get Mélissa into her first trout and she manage to land it When I woke up.... temperature was 11C with a 13km/h wind from the West and 100% humidity.... perfect Left home at 6:00am and got to destination around 7:45am.... right away rigged my daughter's rod with a floating jig and worm, mine with a dropshot type rig with 2 hooks and worm. Here's Mélissa manning the fort while waiting for the byte Here she is with her very first speckle.... real proud of her and of course I got into the action too The next pic I thought I had hooked into the biggest trout Red horse..... man did it ever put up a great fight Around noon we called it a day and head back home. We went 3 for 10 and spent quality time together PRICELESS Hope you enjoy Leechman Edited July 2, 2010 by Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsa Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Great stuff Jacques, glad you and your daughter got out. Small specks are always great to catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGuppy Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Good for you man. That's one of the best parts of fishing for me, spending time with the kids. We don't have a boat but it's great sitting on the shore. It's always funny when my daughter comes. She's 3 and within 10 minutes she's off chasing a butterfly or picking flowers or something!!! Looks like u had great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Johnny Bass Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Sounds like a birthday well spent. Should try fishing near that cauldron, if there is water flow, there should be some decent brookies hanging around there. Thanks for sharing.

Leecher Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Sounds like a birthday well spent. Should try fishing near that cauldron, if there is water flow, there should be some decent brookies hanging around there. Thanks for sharing. Thanks Johnny!!! On the left hand side of the cauldron is a 30' drop off but the wind today was blowing toward where we were..... bringing lots of bait fish on shore. That is why I decide to setup there. Very good point and will keep it in mind for future outings Great job!! Thanks TJ!!! NICE OUTING. GREAT TO SEE THE YOUNG ONES OUT TOO Thanks COPPER!!! Good luck keeping the boys away from her. I have a pretty good idea Happy Birthday Jacques!!! I love father & kid posts!!! I have said it before and I 'll say it again, you are blessed! Thanks for sharing your day with us. Jim Thanks Jim!!! Today was a blessing in itself and I'm glad my daughter join me.... so proud of her What a great report, Happy Birthday Joey Thanks Joey!!! \happy birthday... \i love fishing with my daughter too. \i wish i could pull up beside a river and set up the floats too though Thanks splashhopper!!!
