i'm happy to report that my girly-girl 5yo daughter baited her own hook, caught, reeled in AND removed her own fish this past weekend! YEAH! i told her that if she keeps that up i'll take her on a mom-daughter canoe trip and we'll catch some bigger ones!
btw, dh caught an 10 in crappie on a spoon this past weekend. it was slow..except for the numerous 2 - 6 inch bream (bluegill, pumpkinseeds, and some green sunfish) that were hitting at the dock.

and yes, i need to throw out my bobber and switch to lures and start hitting the docks. the coontail is getting might thick along the banks!
