Very proud Grand Uncle @ LP 06 26 18

My Great-niece, 8 year old Shaylee is down for a visit from Alaska (mom is TDY to Hawaii) and she wanted to go fishing. She like to cast bobbers.
Was hoping for an overcast but we were met with bright early morning. We tried to fish a few beds (wanted her to hook up) but with the bright sun, low wind, and so close to full moon that was a losing plan. We trolled with the shorter rods and did all right. She was good to 0930 and then it was getting to warm.
we trolled 24 to 26 FOW. Water temp was 76*F.
We also managed a limit of smaller fish for some friends on the docks. All the big fish were CPRd.

Great catch and congratulations to the young lady and the trophy gill. I believe that one would be a record for most people!

Hey SS, I'm 75 and still get excited catchin fish. lol :woohoo :biggrin

Wow, the gill she caught is huge. Bigger than my PB gill and I fished there for five years. Hope you stick a 3 lber soon, seems like they are getting bigger and bigger.

Average size has really jumped since you were out here Jim. The fall fishing should be very interesting..
Me and Keith haven't been back to Havasu for a long time too. He sold his boat in Parker.
