We then spent the night on the pontoon anchored in the back of a cove. Had a blast hotdogs and junk food all day. We were up at daylight spider rigging. Caught more then at about 9am we started pullin cranks. Caught a few more crappie and a few whites.

We went swimming again and she crashed after lunch. She was wore out but we had a great day.

Thats great MB!

Wish that was my first crappie. Sounds like a great time and a good way to spend time with the Grand daughter. She will remember that for the rest of her life. What lake you on?

Beaver Lake between War Eagle River and 412 bridge.

Great story and photos! Next trip put something with Crappie .com in the photos with her and enter the contest. It can be a Crappie.com sticker or shirt or even written on cardboard. There are some nice prizes in the mentoring contest for kids in the begineers - n- mentoring forum.

Great story and pics.

Thats awesome Mike. Way to get her involved in the great outdoors. Looks like you're getting plenty of use out of that toon too. WTG

Good job, man. Both of you will have some great lifetime memories from times like those. Cherish them! Thanks for the post and the pics. :ThumbsUp

Great job! Congrats on a wonderful day!

Yea this I hope is the first of many fishing trips with my granddaughter. We are cooking the fish we caught tonight. She is coming over to help me cook it. I think I'll wait a few years to tell her she has to help me clean the fish.
