He worked the Cypress Like A Pro today

My 8 YOA GrandSon Evan became a Jig Fisherman today, catching 25 keeper to 2lb plus fish today by himself, and the great net job of his Ole PawPaw.Attachment 266759Attachment 266760Attachment 266761Attachment 266762Attachment 266763

Grandpa Pro - do you have any suggestions to help young aspiring crappie anglers to fish the trees. Jacob can handle a 10' Ozark in open water like the pool but struggled in close quarter combat in the trees. I'm sure it has something to do with his teacher, but do you have any recommendations on gear and approach. Jacob and I appreciate your assistance.

Put the Little guy infront of you on the deck, put your pole down and guide him with him only fishing into the tight shady pockets where you know fish should be holding. Talk to him about keeping the tip just off the surface and check his depth. i also will put him up front quickly if I have a spot they are hammering it in numbers. Ohh and I almost forgot watch his line and rod tip. Cant tell you how many strikes you will detect before he does, by just watching and telling him when to jerk the rod. Good Luck.

if you have him up front, or anywhere really, be sure you watch for snakes and wasps as well. sometimes the little ones don't always pay attention to potential danger in the cypress.

Man yaw did stroke em!

Good job Russ, it looks like that young man had a great time.

Thanks all for your comments, Yes, good point IB for all always be on the look out for the nasty critters in the trees , they can and will sting or bite if disturbed. I had that same talk with my GrandSon, he spots them right down to the tinniest of spiders. LOL

Great job PawPaw

Great job!!

That boy has CrappiePro genetics. Even at 8 years old he probably makes it look easy. Good job, Pawpaw!

Great job pawpaw, that young man looks happy as a pig in the sunshine! Thanks for sharing
