Hi Folks,
New to this site today and have a question.
I have 3 grandkids, a girl & boy that are five, and one boy that is 2.
They have found in my garage a little fishing pole tht their mom used 25 years ago. The Mickey Mouse type rods for youngsters.
Now they use it "fishing" in the tub, of the porch, in their wading pool,ect.
They are asking PaPa to take them fishing, and they have never fished before.
I fish alot for cats, but don't want to take them catfishing because of the sometimes long waits betwen strikes, and I'm afraid that they will get bored really easily just waiting. After 2-3 times being bored I don't want them to get turned off to fishing. Know what I mean?
I need to find a pond/lake that has a good reputation for pan fish, blue gill, perch, crappie, ect. so as to keep them interested in fishing.
I'm in Fenton, in the St. Louis area,
Wife and I went to Bush wildlife area but caught nothing that day...maybe bad day, or wrong lake.
What lakes in bush is highly recomended for panfish?
Any other recomended lakes/ponds in St Louis area?
Oh ya, mom says no boats yet so all fishing from bank.
Anyone have maybe a farm pond they let us use? LOL
Any input is truly appriciated.
