Spiderwoman, he's welcome in our boat anytime. Sometimes young ens get bored with their "parents" but would fish with someone else all day. Might try it next spring if he wants too, shoot he'd make a good net man and if'n we single poling he can handle a ten foot pole.

So hopefully that put a good taste in his mouth. He had been a couple of times before and the bite had been very slow, and he was BORED. I'll warn ya though he'll talk your head off!!!
With 2 adults and one kid SW, you might try 4 poles on front with your Son/Husband and 2 on the back for FJs. I've done that a couple of times when both wanted to fish.....course, for me, it basically means that 2 poles get ignored, but with an adult on the back, ya'll could do it and everyone fishes.

Perzakly!!! When we have 3 in the boat at Enid, Sardis of Butla, we fish 6 off the front and 4 off the back. Usually the guy in the back catches as many or more than the two front guys.Quote:
