Lews newfound family bonding has me reminiscing about back when I took my two fishing when they were young
You get them all set up with a simple bobber and bait, but YOU wanna cast lures and try different things... well if the bluegill aren't biting, suddenly they wanna do what you're doing because it looks fun So you finally relent and set them up to cast lures, big mistake... because the next thing you know, the only thing you're going to be doing is trying unstick your lures from bushes, trees, rocks and logs for the next hour And at that point you're just ready to go home If I could go back in time, I wouldn't go casting about and trying to be the Big Kahuna when I took them out... instead I'd bobber fish just like them the entire time, teaching them to crawl before they walk so to speak No one ever said you have to let that bobber just sit in one place the whole time, slowly trawl that bait under your bobber around different kinds of cover Last edited by Easy 6; 03-17-2024 at 03:49 PM.. |

Nice catch. Though I've never been able to wrap my mind around purposefully snagging fish before. Doesn't seem like fishing to me personally. Would love to see one of those things in person someday though. Wild looking fish. Last edited by Megatron96; 03-25-2024 at 07:05 PM.. |

For the small mouths nothing is more fun than popper flies on the surface in still water. With a kid setup you would just attach a casting bubble to the line to give it enough weight to cast. You make a very short quick retrieve to pop the face of the fly on the surface and create a disturbance. Wait for the wave rings to die before the next retrieve. Fantastic surface action for bass and bluegill, if he doesn't get too tired casting. Man I miss it.
Oh and of course bring your fly rod to do the same without the bubble! |

When I was a teenager Iowa PBS had some outdoors shows.
I remember one in particular of the host being in a belly boat on a small farm pond fly fishing for bluegill. Poppers, flies. Man that looked like a blast. |
