My son's first "reawwl" fishing trip!

[southern151]

Well, I'd been sitting around and wondering what to do so, since my lil boy went and "helped" me change out the impeller on my little boat Friday, I figured it was only fair that we go test it out together. Keep in mind, he's only ever been in a boat once before and, that was with the whole family in tow. Well, he was excited!!!!

We launched at the Belle River public launch and went cruising through the grounds that I spent many days crawfishing before. I must say it was nice not having to worry about pogey slime getting all over the boat this time around! With that getting boring to him since alligators didn't really want to show themselves, we decided to run back to the truck and grab a fishing pole. I didn't really have a bream setup at all but, we made due and caught several with our limited tackle that I found in dry storage. Man, this kid was bouncing all over the place and, the last two we caught were sizable and, he REFUSED!!! to turn em loose! He said, "we taking them home! We gonna eat that!"

Well, blue and white tube jigs caught em in the grass where there was clean water. Good thing they liked that because, that's all I had!

Great trip for me and him! While there weren't 300 fish laid out on the table, it, to me was a "trip of a lifetime!"
