Longview Marina last Wednesday

My son (8) and I only had about an hour to fish so we stopped into longview and went in to pay for a dozen minnows and dock fees. They didn't even charge us dock fees because we were only going to be there an hour and the bite had been very slow. Paid for 12 minnows got about 35...It took me 5 minutes to find the right brush pile but when we did we both couldnt keep 2 rods in the water.

A guy on a jetski that was out there with his wife and father-in-law rode up and said "I'll rent a boat for you guys if you want to go out on the lake where the fish are" and I told him thanks but we had found them... he didn't believe me so he sat there and watched us... We literally caught a fish on every single cast and only had to throw back 3 or 4 dinks... we caught fish on the 2 minnows in the bucket that were dead.... I told my son that we had to leave as soon as we ran out of minnows or I'd end up spending forever cleaning 2 limits of crappie (60)...

Best day of catching I have ever had and I got to spend it with my kid outdoors (not playing xbox)...

I told him that his Attitude had to be one of Gratitude because we knew who gives and takes away and who created fish in the first place....

It was a good day.

Congrats for sure. I guess you know on that lake 2 limits of crappie would be 60 fish. Glad you had a great time.

Yes I do... it just takes me forever to clean them because I don't have the skills that some of you guys have... heck, it takes me forever just to clean the 20-25 that we usually come home with.... :banghead

Imagine you just baptized another generation of slab hunters - way to go! What perfect timing!

That sounds like a super day!!! Congrats dad.

Congrats on a great outing thanks for the report. Oh by the way we do like pictures.

Way to go. Yes, get the next generation involved. I likeeeee alot

Nothing wrong with that fish story. Way to go dad.
It's always a good day when the game controllers are put aside and a fishin pole is in hand. Catching fish is the bonus.
Congrats

I love great fish stories, congrats to you and the Lad, CRAPPIE UP

Here is a photo of some of them. I have issues posting pictures here at work because of the size. don't know how to resize from work comp.

Pictures did not show up. I tried to post a couple a few days ago and they did the same thing. :scratchhead:dono:dono Maybe some one else can tell us why.

Thanks for the report 1dude. Now you got me fired up to get back out to Longview for the fall bite. Way to get after them with your son, I'm sure cleaning them was the least of your worries after a solid day like that. Way to go!

Sounds like some great catching with your son congrats!

Nice to hear someone gettin em at Longview. I really like Longview myself. Nothing like going out fishin with your kid. Congratulations on the good time.

Nice job
