Took the kids 7 and almost 3 out today was boys(3)first time out what a trooper pb and jelly sandwitchs cheese doodles the post from MT was rite on plenty of snacks. The kids ate like they never get fed my girl drew till her fingers hurt. That was cool let mom and me fish. Wind was the order of the day 10-15 mph gusts to 35. We went in to the out let of the lake to get out of the wind didnt work but had 3 good hits on 10" power worms got one lm bass 1.5 lbs. (Bass opened today in NY) a hit on a booya buzzbait one of the long ones. On the way in was checking for weeds on the motor and saw 2 people waving from the shore opposite the launch in a canoe could not make it back to the launch put them in the boat draged them home turns out the woman works in my girls school (small world) . My wife and I are going back tomorow figure I got good karma. No kids tomorow whooohooooo.

Rideaufish,

sounds like you were well prepared and so lucked out with good behavior for the kiddies!

Have a nice Father's Day on the lake tomorrow with plenty of good fishing!

Markus, the girls and I went out to Bluff Bar today for a fish but it ended up just being a very long wet bumpy boat ride

! We'll try again later on in the week!

The winds on Erie have been fun..I can imagine if it was bumpy in your boat...then I would have been sailing.

They tried to keep smiling beacause it was Fathers Day

, but it was hell. We didn't even fish. When we tried to anchor, the waves would just crash over the front and soak everything and everyone. We ended up just heading back in.

We did see Hoover at the bar. We stopped to say hi and he said the bite was off.

Got out on Charleston with the kids and headed from the village launch over to Donaldsons bay to fish and have dinner with the kid's grandparents. For us it was pringles and five alive except during the very rough and sometimes wet ride over.

One kid loved it (I think she'll be the bungie jumper in the family)
The other sat himself down on the floor.

Fished for a couple of hrs (no fish) just a coouple of hits. Ride home was a bit calmer and drier.
