Sal329 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 My stepson (9 yr old) and I fish almost every night after work. He uses nightcrawlers and geta lot of panfish, I fish Senkos, worms, flukes and other soft plastics and cathc bass usually one punders a few days I caught some up to 3-4lbs. There is this kid we see fishing I tell my stepson he should talk to him (teh 11 yr old), the kids in our neighborhood are lets just say not who I want my kid to be around. He talked to this kid and we seen him on 3 other occasions. Well now they are friends and he started fishin with us. Ok so the story 6-6-06 we go out fishing. They are catching bluegille and other lil fish. This kid is keeping some of them in bait bucket. He then puts one on a hook and we are watching this about 5lbs bass eat the fish but he couldn't hook him. So the both start fishing for panfish. I am fishing for bass with the usual stuff with no luck and then fianlly I caught this My stepson holds the fish I take pics ;D Then the kid puts a fish on again and pulls out this Im like wow ok I want that. I use a Senko bait and nothing. My stepson now wants to use a fish as well. I rig it up and he pulls out a bluegile the size of my hand he wants to use this. Well 5 minutes he pulls this out. So not fair. How can we catch these without using bluegilles? I want to try and get both of them to use artificial but you try telling a kid to use fake stuff and cath lil ones when he can have fun cathing the panfish and then have more fun catching monsters. So yeas I am jealous lol. Quote

BassMaster_1 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 WOW! amazing... before you go can do this on a regular bases, check your local regs. I know here in NY that is illegal. But the look on the kids face is priceless... I know rapala makes a good looking bluegill bait. Where are you from? Quote
George Welcome Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Florida: the use of blue gills as bait is legal as long as you caught the blue gill by legal method: hook, line, and bait. Quote
IneedAnewScreenName9886691 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 You gotta go with Mattlures. His Bluegill is perfection! www.mattlures.com keep us informed Quote
Madhouse27 Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Good thing the three of you weren't having a little tournament Quote
Sal329 Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 The one kid is a local we met I helped him with a few baits he was using I don't know how he expected to catch. He listened and he caught 2 that night. Now we fish with him all the time a good kid. My stepson loves fishing. I usually reel in my first bass and he gets to reel in anything after that. We have a lot of fun. But now the fishing is slowing down a lot. Lol yea good thing no tournament was goin on lol Quote
CJ Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I love the 2 different facial expressions on your stepsons face.He knows when he caught a good one and looks like he could care less about your fish.Did you make him stop fishing to hold your fish? LOL Quote

Sal329 Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 I bet YOUR son is loving life! He's so blessed to have a father like you. Thanks fo rhte kind words. I am still learnin this father/stepfather role. I went from partying every single night and not caring about much just working to pay for alcohol, place to live and my ccar. I drank every single night and did what I wanted when I wanted. Didn't want a gf, I didn't care what girl I hurt in the process. Then I met my gf, stopped drinking, sold my mustang and got a fuel efficient car that she drives and got me a beater, then her son moved in and a few months later she was pregnant. But I would not trade this in for a anything... Quote
