The Urban Fisherman Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Well here's the report I promised. My youngest daughter Claira has been on my case to get out fishing since the ice came off hte lake. Our new vehicle doesn't have a hitch yet and we only had a short window to get out so we packed up the family and took Claira out for a little shore fishing. There's a great little spot to take the kids on Longpoint and it's always loaded with small bluegill, perch, rockbass etc. As soon as we dropped Claira's pink trout worm into the lake a solid 2lb+ largie smashed it and started spooling her little rod. I grabbed the spool in a panic and you guessed it... SNAP.. her first fish would have been a nice largie and but her dad blew it and it broke her off. It's all good though because within a few minutes we had her tied back up and and at two years old she caught her first ever fish all by herself with zero help from Dad!! She was very excited but still wouldn't hold it, so big sis showed her how it's done. We stuck around for about 45 minutes and the kids caught a whole bunch of little bluegill... not the Deer Creek giants we're used to, but hte kids had a ton of fun and it was good to get outside and catch some fish. Here's my boy Luke with his first of the day.. Averie with a pair... ( one on her rod and one on mine while I was helping Luke un-hook his fish ) Mom even got in on the action a little today... A few more fish..... And it was time to call it a day! Thanks for checkin out our report - have a great week!! Cheers, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphaalpha Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Great report, thanks for sharing. My oldest boy turns two at the end of the month but he definitely isn't coordinated enough to handle a rod solo yet. Shouldn't be too long tho. -AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've told you before Ryan.. thanks for these posts and bringing back some great memories that go with them for me. Super young parents, 3 kids... a duplicate of Leah and I about 22 years ago... but with the boy being the oldest. Enjoy it to the fullest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Hunter Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 more action than I've seen since Sept. . I really can't wait to get out myself, but in 4 years when my wee boss is old enough to have him join me that will be the real thrill. Great roots your planting right there.

The Urban Fisherman Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks for the great response guys! Sometimes I wonder wether or not anyone want's to see more pics of my kids holding little bluegill but I will keep posting for sure. T-minus 5 days until you get a real bass report out of me. This year is going to be Averie's first bass opener on Longpoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
