My Friend Tom Booska's Grand Son Keith had no school today and last week we planned on taking him fishing.
Well this mornings temperature merited a later start and that we did and met at 11:30 at Converse.
Loaded up S L O W L Y and launched with the Heater and defroster fan running. Headed out into the lake for Split Rock.......the breeze in the lake was enough to have us go slow enough as to not ice the deck.
Set up at 12:30 at the steel tower headed south and at the Unicorn picked up a salmon Keith's first Lake Champlain fish and Salmon, followed by two lakers. Then being a Kid we started and ate Lunch in the calm water, today Italian Meatball Soup, Apples and Kathy's Chocolate Chip Squares.
A triple with a double on one rod with slider headed north past the ball grabber. The slider clip broke open with the drop of that fish and landed two. Finished the day with two salmon by Seagull rock.
Pulled at 3:30 for a Great First outing for a New Fisherman. I Know Keith had Fun and His Grandfather Too!
At picture time Keith only wanted to hold up his Largest fish First so we have a happy boy with a Laker and one of his Salmon.
I'm off for ten days because of work but might break out this Sunday.
Water temp 39.4
