My older granddaughter was here for a brief visit and we set aside a couple of hours to fish. She's been my fishing buddy since she was 3 years old but with her away in college in Tennessee and her parents living in NC we seldom have a chance to fish.
We went to Murray and tried for a few White Perch. I bought a few minnows because I wasn't sure she would pick up on the bottom jigging with a spoon that we normally do.
As always she impressed me with her perseverance. First(and only) perch came on a minnow. Fishing was really slow, but I had managed a couple of small Stripers.
I heard her laughing and by golly she jigged up a Striper on the spoon. This was after an hour of non productive fishing.
We ended up with 6 non keeper Stripers and the one lost perch which went back to catch another day.
All too brief a visit and later we waved goodbye as she started the drive back home in NC.

And the Striper. Not big by any means but the fact that she caught him jigging in 60 FOW really pleased her old Pop.
Really miss spending time with her.
