Got a bit of a late start on Saturday as My oldest son Matthew had a baseball tourney in Martinsville. I did manage to convince my wife that since we were that close to the lake it would be a shame not to go fish So after his 2 games we got to the lake about 2:30 and headed out in search of bait. I must say that the bait was the easiest that It has ever been for me. Loaded the tank with 20 or so big shad and had boards in the water by 3pm. We got 2 in the boat both going about 10lb and called it an evening about 6pm. Fun afternoon on the water with the family. My youngest helped me reel the first one in and Matt got one too. I was hoping for one more for my wife but couldn't get it. Matt at the plate!! Jayden with his fish! I think he is addicted already. This is all he's talked about since catching it. Matt fighting his fish The end result!

Jayden is just 4 and he likes to go but if we don't have much action he's ready to go home. Matthew on the other hand just turned 11 and he would stay out there all day and night if I would let him. BTW Yam Thanks for offering the bait. We ended up throwing most of ours back.

I guess the bait is easy when you can't even give it away! I sure hope my boy (Afton Fisher) will be like your son Matthew! However, I am keenly aware that hoping too much could be a negative thing.

I say start 'em out young (hunting and fishing) and it keeps them out of the mall. Mine started the baseball thing too and turned into a bull rider. Still loves to hunt and fish though. Nice Report!!

We are so busy with our boys that we don't have too much time to fish. Between travel baseall, AAU basketball, and kart racing we are very busy most of the year.

I'm like you Yam catching bait is part of the challange!! Plus the boys love picking them up and loading the tank. I'm very thankful my boys like to go fishing with me. It's hard to beat getting to spend the day out on the lake with them. I'm sure Afton will love it one day as well
