Saturday Afternoon Fishing

[LittleRedFisherman]

Sweet report Brett!!!! I love these type of reports.....can't get enough of them.....simply awesome. I agree with Britt, kids on small streams....the possibilities are endless. My dad taking me to creeks is what spawned my love for fishing and is why I love creeks so much.........Great job daddy!!!!

Thanks man!! Yeah, I've got a creek in mind now that you mention it, that can be waded for about a mile, be a good place to take him this summer.. Here, I grew up fishing a ditch called the Mayo Ditch that runs here on the farm, it was full of feisty spotted bass, nowadays you have to go south on it a few miles to find them, it runs to shallow now here to hold fish all year.. Man did I have fun as a kid fishing in it, everytime I cross it, those memories flood back..

Have you tried your 110 Jr yet, that thing has been my go to the times I've fished this winter!! I was skeptical of that color I got there, but they seem to love it!!

Actually I don't have one yet but I do have the lucky strike version and haven't tried it yet. I do have an X80 but it seems like a rolling bait for a finicky bass bite. Ive only caught a couple on it so far.

IMO Sam a baker state park is a fantastic place to take your kid. Big creek is perfect for a family. I go there with mine about 10 times each summer to swim, fish, hike and they have a ni e playground. The stream is filled with sunfish and some smallies. I often see deer, armadillos, northern water snakes, turtles, frogs etc. it is a truly remarkable little park and it is very family friendly in every way IMO

For reference, my kids are almost 2 and 4.

Edit... Of course It all depends on where you live and what you can get to with relative ease.

Sam A. Baker is the place I caught my first ever Smallie! On a 3" white grub. It was that trip when my love for Smallies began and I haven't been able to get them off my mind since. Great little park!
