Went to the river house for a 5 day weekend with the family. Three generations were there to fish and have fun, which is what we did.

It turns out that my dog loves being on the boat so we took her out most of the time.

We caught about 40 smallies and a few LMB over the weekend. Nothing big. Mostly 1 pounders and less. Most caught on power grubs with a road runner jig head, rooster tails and lipless crank baits. It was my 4 year old's first time actually trying to catch fish, and he did! Well, he got 2 bites and only managed to get one on the boat, but still it was a great feeling to have him enjoy it so much! The kid talks alllll day long but when he had a line wet he was all about fishing and concentrating and barely said a word. Good stuff!

Another great weekend of fishing, swimming, beer, BBQ and poker!!!

By the way, I saw the thread earlier about the carp herpes. It's a good thing. The SMB population has decreased a lot in the past 10 years and I think they have a lot to do with it. I saw about 50 carp bigger then 7 pounds. I was thinking about taking up bow fishing!!
