Fishing success

[snapbang]

Last week my buddy and I went to Lexington (North of Port Huron) to do some quick fishing. The DNR had just dumped 10,000 small (8-9 inch) salmon a few days before so we had fun catching little fish for an hour. I was baby sitting my grandsons on Friday and a light went off in my head. ( My light is slow ) How about taking the grandsons over to the harbor to catch some small fish. I took them home with me on Friday afternoon and on Saturday we went fishing. His only comment was its ugly and I guess I never looked at it that way but he is kinda correct. So I got his first fish behind him.

We caught a few salmon but on the second cast we caught a small mouth. He looks a little scared but he did touch it and want to know why it was slimy and we had to do an anatomy lesson.

Way to go!

With the help of the photo, he’ll probably be able to remember that for the rest of his life!

Also kudos for introducing him to spinning reels at an early age.

Ive been using a spinning reel since I was a kid. Never considered anything else.
95% of my fishing is small stream brookies. A very light spinner is perfect by my standards.
