The Urban Fisherman Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Canada day my daughter Averie and I decided to spend a few hours in the afternoon chasing largemouth in the jungle. Even though we've lived in Port Rowan for nearly 2 years now, and it's only about 750m from our doorstep to the boat launch, we haven't spent much time in the shallows. Our goal for this summer is to figure out some shallow water largemouth patterns and spots. A good buddy was kind enough to point us in the right direction and give us a few starting points. The water was fiercely stained but some flashy spinnerbaits did the trick. It was an awesome afternoon spent with the kid! More to follow...

The Urban Fisherman Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Last up, this weekend we had plans spanning from Saturday morning through to Sunday evening but I woke up at 4:30 am on Saturday and couldn't get back to sleep. So I rolled over and whispered into the wife's ear... "Do you care if Averie and I hit up some largemouth... promise we'll be back by 7:30".. She mumbles "I don't care"... BOOM.. I jump out of bed, run down the hall and flick on the kids light at 5:00 sharp... She wasn't impressed at first but when I told her we were going fishing she was up and dressed in minutes. By 5:30 we were idling out of the marina with coffee and hot chocolate in hand. The lake was flat calm and the sun hadn't even started come up over the horizon. As it turns out, the fishing completely sucked, or maybe it was just us, but you can't complain about any morning spent with your favorite fishing buddy only a stones throw away from your house. Averie tossed around a hollow body topwater bait most of the morning and though she didn't land anything on it, she did get her first ever big blow up right beside the boat. I happened to be snapping a picture of her at the time so I lucked into getting a great picture of her reaction! lol We did catch a few small fish, and Averie got her first ever pike so it wasn't a total loss. 7:50 rolls around and Mom texts us " 7:30 you guys " OOPS! haha Looking forward to spending some serious time in the shallows around Longpoint this summer! Have a great week folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
