Got a nice ultra early start at nearly 11 am with my daughter. She doesn't get to go out on the boat much with me, or do the fun family stuff on the weekends as she goes to her dad's every weekend. These trips and days are special to me, and I could care less about the catching part.
Hoping to get a few before the storms move in. .....2 in the first 15min, things are looking great. No real size, but not tiny dinks. Gotta re-teach her how to fight fish (remember I fish light line) and not reel against the drag. 45 min later, nothing going on, and rain bearing down on us.
Head over to eat lunch hoping storm blows by fast. Her choice on go home or stay out. Decided to give it another shot, north end was on fire. Probably 10 hits in 45 min to an hour, although only 2 made it to the boat. Those two were a pair of 14" solid fish.
I did manage to find the motherload of them, but couldn't get back on top of them. It got marked. No sooner did I see the blob of fish did the 4# outfit take off, drag singing. I knew that was easily best fish of the day, she brought it to the boat in home it came.
All in all, great day on the water with my daughter, she had fun and is currently tired. Couldn't ask for a better day.
