Took my 81 yo grandpa and my 5 yo fishing from 3-dark yesterday at Shirey. We had a good time but the fishing was much slower than I anticipated.

Had my little girl rigged up w a slip float and red worms for catching bream. She did manage 3 and 1 was a keeper. She had a blast but it was hard to keep her focused between catches.

My grandpa caught one keeper crappie and a really nice bream. Both were caught 5-6 ft deep in 11-12 fow. I've never seen the water that high at Shirey but water looked great and temps were 73-76.

It was tough to fish the cypress or brush line w so much green limbs and vegetation under the water that is normally above.

Fun time w a 4-generation span in the boat. I didn't get to do much fishing but I wouldn't trade yesterday afternoon for anything.
