Thread: Quick Kids Float

Myself and my buddy (big kids) took our two 9 year olds for a quick float on Cadron Creek in Central Arkansas. This is not one of the popular floating destinations in the state and we didn’t see anyone else the whole day. I knew that the conditions would be a little challenging, so I rigged up everyone with very small and light jigs. Man did it pay off. We caught around 60-70 small (think very small) longear sunfish, green sunfish, Spotted Bass, and Largemouth Bass. We did catch a few bigger bluegill. All kids had a great day. I had contemplated bringing one of my new rods so that I could really enjoy the dinks but I thought better about it. My BPS microlight now feels like a broom stick compared to the new rods. I need to find a good light action rod (6.5 - 7’) that I wouldn’t cry over if I lost it or broke it on a float. Any suggestions? My track record of loosing or breaking gear on float trips is pretty bad, especially when kids are involved. But man, that Tict IceCube would have been a blast yesterday!
