Got off from work early today and naturally wanted to do some fishing. Wanted to get up to a creek to do some fly fishing and hiking. On my way out the door, I got a call from the woman telling me to pick my son up from preschool. Ok, now I have a fishing partner but creek fishing is a little above his level. Instead, we went to the Pudd. Went to the north shore and threw out some PB for nothing. A guy cruised by on a bass boat throwing a swim bait and informed us that they just stocked at the launch ramp and it was wide open. So off we went. We found a little spot but had brush on both sides of us. Pretty tight quarters specially with the lil' boy. Seemed they were after luers and since my son is too young to cast one, my job was to cast it and hook the fish... his job was to reel it in. Started throwing a Thomas B. Seemed like every cast was a bite. Probably fished for an hour and landed about 5. All fish were released.

The first fish actually got foul hooked on his dorsal.... we thought we had a big one till we realized what had happened...

He is 4. I used to bring him out on the docks in NPH when he was like 2 months old. He was able to cast a spincast set up at 3. He is really good at fishing. He understands he needs to keep the line tight and let them run. Just dont trust him with hooks yet... ha ha

I think it's the far east part near the airport but not sure. I had some business to take care of in Covina so thought I would check that part out,never fished that part but it was full of lots of bass hiding spots. Could be worth a try this spring,hope to see you their some time.

I was fishing at the main launch ramp. I guess it would be the north shore...

Awesome job Dad, your son will remember that day forever.

Super thanks for the stocking report, that inside scoop you passed on from the guy in the bass boat is exactly what I was looking for, SWIMBAIT Time!

Yeah, I think so too... We need to get our kids together and let them fish... Might even make it that much more fun for them if they are with their peers...
