@saugmon
I hope you have better luck with your young tyke. The first time I took my 3 yr old daughter fishing she promptly threw the rod and reel overboard. Still a fond memory and always good for a chuckle.

nice trout SOCOMII. One species that I haven't caught.
ireland: That's musky country! That's way on the other side of the state. It probably isn't far from Lake Chataqua? I'd love to hit those lakes.
garmoon: Momma would be with us,so she'd keep her busy, LOL. Momma definitely wants to get out there also.

We ended up with 108 saugeye,which wasn't even close to last year's motherlode. Also lost about 25 crankbaits to the stump gods, UGGH! Biggest Saugeye was only 22",but had several that size.
Throw in another 35 channelcats,12 crappie,and a half dozen of very fat 11" perch. Even caught a Fish Ohio 26" carp trolling.
Coldfront after coldfront so far this summer. Get 2-3 days in the 90's,then back to the 50's.
I can't wait for the snow!!!!
Here's a pic of one of our Nicer Catch of the Days:
2 of them went 20" and other went 21"
Here's a pic of Dad's 45" windsock he snagged while trolling after the 4th of July,still in excellent condition:

Nobody's fishing, or just not posting about it?
I haven't been since very early spring. I'm wanting to go bad!

Nice Haul SOCOMII. A nice fat largemouth and a nice batch of toothy Nornern Pike!!!! What were their sizes?
I haven't fished since middle of july. The heat has been intolerable,and it's got to be the hottest september on record.
I don't know if I'll get out any more. The GF's 2 boys are playing peewee football. Almost kickoff time for the Buckeyes!!!!

Yeah, I wish it was. I live on a lake, and the snow was just about gone,with temperatures in the mid 50's F, but we are near the end of a freak storm. Since 9 last night, we have had 21" of d*mn snow, and it is still snowing heavily. The storm warning ends tomorrow morning at 10.
The ice won't go out until early May, now. :(
I live in Minnesota.
Life is good!

anything cheap for starters and watcher your good stuff too, because the little bugger's gonna step on and break one of the rods! LMAO
If fishing for bream and sac-a-lait I would suggest a cane pole for starters. For bass a simple zebco or jap equivalent cheapie will do. If you don't do much catching, he might not like fishing anyway.

A friend called me the other day, and asked if I wanted to go fishing with him. He knows my situation, and said maybe I can take him sometime. Of course I went.
We went to New Bern. He told me the bass fishing had been terrible since hurricane Floyd. It's very hard to catch a keeper bass now, and catch more salt water fish than anything, unless you run way up the river.
We started out in the Trent River, not too far from the launch site. Within a few minutes he caught a 3-3 1/2 pound flounder. He kept that one. A few minutes later he caught another small flounder. Within a few more minutes, he caught a puppy drum. All three of his fish were caught on a white spinnerbait.
Then we decided to run up the Neuse River. We went about 15-20 miles up. He caught several bass that ranged from 6" - 13", before I finally caught one. Since a keeper bass is 14" and above, there had been no keepers caught. I finally caught 3 small bass, 12"-13". I had a blackfish (bowfin - garbage fish) blow up on a buzzbait and miss it. He followed it back to the boat. That's how I knew what it was. I threw a pink floating worm next to a log. Just as it was going out of sight, something grabbed it, and I set the hook. The fight was on! It pulled hard! I told my buddy, "I don't know what it is yet, but it's the biggest thing today!" He said, "it's probably another blackfish." I said, "it's fighting more like a bass." Well, it was a bass. He was about 4 pounds. One of the strongest 4 pounders I'd ever caught. He was the 10th fish of the day, but the first keeper. It was about 5:30pm, so it was after hours, if it had been a tournament. I had another fish that looked about 15", jump off. We both had another small fish, before we started the 30 minute ride, back to the ramp.
My buddy had been talking friendly junk to me all day, because I wasn't catching any fish, and he was. I told him when he started talking all that trash, that I'd get one that would eat all of his. He said, "yeah, right." When I did, he finally shut up!
We had a great time, just being on the water, joking around, and having wild critters pulling on our strings. Sorry I don't have a pic of any of the fish. I was so anxious, I forgot my camera, and he didn't have one. I forgot my drinks too, but he had enough for both of us. I hope we can do this again soon. It's time for the fish to start schooling, and start jumping on zara spooks! Glad I finally had a fishing story to tell.

Nice 4lb largemouth JVC. We used to go up to Rice Lake and Lower Buckhorn. Wander why they call it Lower buckhorn when it is further north of Upper buckhorn, LOL. I believe the trent runs through all sorts of lakes including buckhorn. Beautiful country up there.
The closest thing that I've come to fishing is the mounting of some of my rods to the garage. Batteries are charged,just waiting for the water temp to cool down and try some fall saugeye trolling.
My time has been limited due to the fighting with the ex gf,getting my wood shop in order,work,watching kinzie,and ready to have her 2nd birthday party this saturday. After this weekend,majority of my free time will be fighting for custody of kinzie.Hearing is on Oct 2 and I talk to a very good child custody lawyer this thursday. It's going to get very ugly. The ex gf-also known as ho bag- is gonna lose custody of her 3 kids,so should make it easier for me to get custody of lil kinzie.
