Finally got to hit the lake yesterday! Grab a bucket of minnows and off we went. I didn't fish much because the boys needed some assistance. Knox is only three so that took up most of my time. Ryder is at the point now where he's pretty independent and I really don't have to watch much with him. He can tie a jig and bait his hook. And pull the fish off. Makes me pretty proud. We got some really good crappie numbers this year at the local Lake I fish at but they're all small. They have to be at least 9" to keep and they were all around the 8" mark. Should be real good fishing in the next couple years! We got to the lake around 7:30 p.m. and by 9 p.m. the boys had caught 31 crappie and one Channel cat. At one point my little man Knox had to pee so I took him over to some trees. During that time Ryder decided he would use both poles. And this is what I found by the time we got back! This boy is going places LOL!
