motv8tr Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I took my best friend, her two boys and her parents fishing on Sturgeon lake today. I rented a 24' pontoon boat from Lunge Haven (great service) and off we went. I went out to the general area I had fished with Big Cliff last year, and hoped for the best There were no big fish caught, although the older boy, 11 yrs, did get a nice little large mouth, so he was pretty happy, even if it wasn't a Walleye This was the first time fishing with their grand parents, so they were pretty stoked. Each boy managed a double header with one grand parent and everyone caught at least one fish. After spending 4 hours out on the boat, we were fortunate enough to have permission to fish off Big Cliffs dock if the boys weren't ready to call it a day....of course they wanted to keep going. It was a not stop perch/sunfish extravaganza I could barely keep up with putting worms on and taking fish off...by the end of the day though, I had both boys doing it for themselves most of the time The younger lad,8 yrs, also managed a small small mouth, his first, and the older one caught his first Blue Gill... Overall it was a great day, with great company, and great weather....the boys asked at the end of the day if we could make this a tradition....hmmmm....I think I can manage that Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 ....the boys asked at the end of the day if we could make this a tradition....hmmmm....I think I can manage that Maureen This part warms my heart immensely Maureen. Starting an annual tradition for the boys will lead to a lifetime of wonderful memories for everyone and give them something to look forward to.

Default User Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I totally agree with woodenBoater I'm dying to get my nephews away from their video games and DVD movies and take them fishing. My 5 year old daughter loves it! Hopefully we can rent a cottage large enough for 3 families so we can get 3 generations together casting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well Maureen, I am so happy that you got a chance to get out and had a good day. I was hoping to get a chance to see you but by the time I got home from work, you were already gone. As far as making this a tradition; as long as I own this place you can count on it!
