deercreek with my grand daughter - mtncat1 - 06-02-2015
I had quit a fun little adventure with my 5 year old grand daughter. we headed out Sunday morning to put the hurt on some bows . catching fish was no problem . we ended up with 16 nice sized rainbows all in the 2lbs range and a really nice 3lbs brown . all fish were caught on the down riggers at 10 to 25 feet depth speed was 1.8 mph . we used rmt dodgers and various squids tip with gulp maggots. what a time multiple double hook ups and plenty of screaming drag. know for we got on the water at 11 o'clock and were off at 3 o'clock. now onto the adventure part . after my grand daughter caught the first 3 fish she decided netting fish would be even more fun than reeling them in , well it wasn't long before my new ego net ended up in the prop of the trolling motor [shocked]. then some how my sun glasses got broken during a one sided water fight , and to top it all off we got to see some kite boarders up close real close. she had a absolute ball catch all those mad as she calls them bows[
] we then hit the cleaning station where she loves to help her pa clean them mad fish. what a great day for me to see her enjoying the sport I love . and all the little hitches were totally worth the s.[signature]

If you don't mind me asking what color of dodgers and squids were they hitting?

The last photo of your grand daughter is classic. Sums up the whole trip. I love taking my grandchildren fishing. Memories to last forever. Great report.

Great story and I'm sure you felt a little like a nap by the time you got home. I wonder how many times you had to answer "why?" during the day?

The memory of her time with Grand Pa will last her entire life. As you said the big
s are well worth the cost of a net and sunglasses. Good Job.[signature]

My granddaughter is also 5. I know how you feel. I just
in amazement at everything she does and say. I have an occasion to take her fishing this weekend before she goes back to Texas. Great memories- thanks for your pics.

the squids were green cotton candy and Double Glow Rainbow Signature Squidfrom rmt and the dogers were fusion and bahama mama. I also ran a Hammered Nickel Assassin Spinner the squids worked best by far .
