Had my nephews in town this weekend and they wanted to do a little fishing.
3/30 fished a couple of hours with my two nephews , brother in law , and my son. Hit a creek about halfway back about 9:40. 3 bank side free lined planers and 2 channel side light weight planers. 7-10” gizzards. Within 10 minutes had the closest bank planer hammered and my oldest nephew was on it. Had it on for a few and it came off. As he was reeling it in to reset planer I saw a flash and told him to stop reeling and that something was chasing it. As soon as he do a huge smallie came up and hammered it again , this time he got it in. Turned out to be a 21” citation !
Released it and it swam away.
A little while later my youngest nephew yelled fish on and grabbed a channel side rod and was hooked up, 30” striper
Shortly later another Channel side board was screaming and my son grabbed it , 31.5” striper
Mission accomplished ! We headed back in for lunch and to do some yard work.
4/1 today was my oldest nephews 14th birthday . My son and youngest nephew wanted to sleep in so we headed out to get him on some birthday fish. Hit same creek as day before about 8:45 and set out same spread. 15 minutes and inside bank board is hooked up. 21.75” largemouth. His biggest largemouth on top of his citation smallie the day before .
About another 10 minutes and he was on again with another stud green fish at
21.25”.
He ended up catching 4 stripers between 24” and 28” after the green fish to finish up in time for lunch. Here are a few pics
Said it was the best birthday morning he had ever had ! Mission accomplished!
