Nephew's 1st fish - Father's Day outting
« on: June 20, 2010, 08:47:06 PM »
I took my nephew (age 10) and brother-in-law out today for a little fresh water fishing.  We tried once last year, but got nothing, so the pressure was on to get the kid hooked up and keep him interested.  
We hit a small freshwater spot near us around 5pm.  We fished for a good three hours.  About 2 hrs in, I got a hit and handed the rod off to him.  He landed his first fish, a sunny.  A few minutes later, on his own bait selection, his our cast, he hooked another one, but lost it as he lifted it out of the water.  
Nice Father's Day outing.

Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.

Yeah the sunny saved the day.  I could see them hanging around and looking at the bait the whole time, but they didn't want to eat.  I was glad we finally found a couple that weren't too skittish.
