Took my girls fishing

[bat54r]

We went to a buddy of mines place and threw a few spinnerbaits in the pond, and look what showed up. The girls had a great time.

Way to be a great Dad!

 

[Knife Lady]

Looks like a great time. I loved to fish as a girl and I still do. Hurray for you taking your girlies.

 

[bat54r]

Thanks for all the positive feed back everyone. I try and do as much with them now before hanging with dad becomes taboo.

 

[LeeStreet]

That's great dad, they will remember their fishing experience forever. Thanks for spending time with them. They will be grown & gone before you know it.

+1 to you dad! I have 2 daughters as well...they arent big enough to run a fishing pole on their own yet so we still just throw rocks

 

[Aggar]

Just did the same thing. I think she's gonna throw a few lines in the future!

Yes it was - Took the kids back down to Atterbury again for the evening.

FWIW, Beaver Bottom (with the pier) is now heavily covered in moss/weeds now. There were also a LOT of fish floating or laying on the moss. Bluegill, bass, catfish. Yeah, nothing moving and I wasn't crazy about pulling anything from the water with that many dead things anyway.

Finally hit some action at one of the other lakes and pulled in several rock bass fingerlings and finally a couple of good sized redears/bluegills. Poor girl had a good sized one hooked but right as she was pulling it out it came off the hook. But it was beautiful weather, birds were out and at least there were some fish biting.

Oh, and my 7 y.o. boy was awfully proud of finally baiting his own hooks with the waxworms. Big step for him.

All in all, a fun evening, even if I only brought home a couple of sunfish.

+1 for the time with your kids, it's times like these that we'll hang onto well into our years. I remember someone once telling me "The things we'll remember most, won't be things at all" and after having children of my own, that saying started to make sense. My kids are just starting the fishing experiences (2yr old son, almost 4yr old daughter) and they love it. My little girl went out with us a couple times last year and has gotten great at casting already this year. My son, well he's just not quite ready yet, though he does love throwing rocks, lol.

Good for you ...and them! Looks like you guys had a great time.
Is the grease hot yet?

I found the same thing when I took my son and my friends son out there. They still got some casting practice. Hoping to find a better place out there next time.

Pisgah was much better, but we were on the South side ramp and the North wind had blown what moss and junk there was into that area. The rest of it was pretty clear. Didn't get much notice from the fish there though. Stone Arch lake was not terribly covered and we definitely saw something big busting through the surface occasionally a hundred yards or so from the shore. Looked, in silhouette, like pretty good sized bass. That was at or just just after official sunset.

Good luck
