Gill fishing done right!

[Capt.Bob]

Well off the beds but took the grandson to our fish camp fer a couple days, after 17 Wednesday we found them more receptive Thursday morning. He get's his choice of what, when, and how, and let's me choose where, the way it needs to be when you spoil em the right way! Wednsday night he said can we get up at 4:30 and get around to go get em, so I suggested 5:30, and have some juice and go fishing before sunup then come in before it starts cooking us and have a Big Man Breakfast, (mashed fresh blueberries I freeze in pancake batter, served with butter and local honey instead of syrup, sausage links, and eggs) spool em right! 

 

He scored, we came off the water for the big breakfast at 9:30 with mostly 8" to 9" gills, but over a dozen of the 35 up to 10 1/2". I have always told him the early guy gets the best bite, and love it when they choose what and when they want to go, and get results at the dock like this!

 

 

Nothing like get'n em into nature, he is one grand-kid that will never choose big fancy lakes with ski jumps and sandy beaches over one with lillypad and cattail's lined with wild flower shorelines, and nothing but the sounds of cranes, swans, and songbird's to breakup the background noise of tree and bull frog's!

 

 

Then supper over the campfire instead of hot dog stands and Mickey-D's,,, truly spoiled right, and what makes me smile! This is what it's all about today and what really makes me me smile!
