Some serious slab action with the young lady!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Some serious slab action with the young lady!

Post by i got worms »

Took one of my young ladies out on the Rideau to help me search for some slabs. The first spot we hit was a no go but spot number two was just a rockin'!


Image


It took 3 layers of gloves and the promise of an ice cream cone to get this beauty shot! :lol:


Image


Dad even caught a few!


Image


Water temp was 57-58F and dirtied from a nearby feeder creek where we found 'em. We laid a beatdown with 2" Yamaminnows hung under floats in 2-4ft of water.

Now if only I could get her to clean them... 8)

That's awesome!

My son is itching to go fishing. The boat is coming out of storage tomorrow but it will still be a few weeks before I get any shots like that!

Start the fish cleaning training asap. When they hit 13 it's tougher to get them to assimilate!

Great start with the kiddo Jay. Cool.
