truansea Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Finally found time on a flat lake to take my 5-year-old out. Set up too deep and spent the first hour and a half trolling between 150 and 200 with nary a bump and only a few stray marks on the graph. Worked inside of 130 about an hour before sunset and started marking both fish and bait. Tied the little guy onto four nice kings from 5 to 12 lbs., all within 45 minutes, trolling east the entire time. Needless to say, he had a ball as he landed each one (beginners luck?)! All four came on a Coyote JP Slammer 60ft down on the rigger. Nothing else in our spread took a hit.Thanks to all who continue to post- it has been a blast this spring knowing where to start and what's working (though if I would have read Dave Ash's report from the morning before heading out, I wouldn't have over-ran them to begin the night). Tight lines to all for as long as the fish stick around!
Mushy's Dad Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Jeff, Good Job! Way to put the little one on big fish!
Just Hook'n Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Very nice job sticking with it after a few hours Jeff. Can be tough when you are not catching with kids. AWESOME job to your little man for dragging in fish and not loosing any. Sweeeeet.
