Perfect Day Fishing

Can't beat three body's and three limits. North Fork Res., anchored off the bridge, only bit Pink Power Bait for us today.

Wow! Nice day for sure. I'm still trying to get both of my boys' first fishes. I really, and mean really, suck at fishing. I have a curse, have had it my whole life, ask anyone I know. Even deep sea fishing everyone limits out and my basket only catches everyone's bees cans, LOL. I'm jealous of your pic, nice work.

This is a great spot since you can fish it from the bank or a boat and catch fish. Took us a few cast to figure what they wanted then it was on. I ran a second rod still trying other flavors, but the pink was it today. My 10 year old granddaughter had an absolute blast. She has a lip ripper hook set and did not lose one fish.

Awesome! Ya know, there are some big trout over there that just love leeches!
It's good to see a successful day fishing with family!

How old are your boys?

Just turned 11 and almost 13, too old to have not caught a fish, LOL. We at least have great times going and trying. I've always had poor lick fishing and passed it on to them. Been out five times this year already on the boat and from shore, no dice. We'll hit a good day when we get blessed with some tugs on our poles this year. We are headed to Diamond Lake for an entire week coming up quickly, if they don't catch one during that week than it's just not meant to be.

We should talk.

On a good day someone with little skill can catch a bunch of these, black rockfish, out in the ocean. I might be able to help.

Let me know how Diamond Lake treats you.

Last time I went out on a guided bottom fishing trip I was the only one out of 15 that didn't catch a single fish, LOL. All poles rigged by the captain, all similar skill sets, it's actually comical when I go out. I'm used to it and it really doesn't bother me, I still always have a great time. I'll post back on the trip.

A picture of y'all with a bunch of fish would be golden.

That's the problem, there were 15 people. One guy who knows what he's doing with 3 newbies (two of which, young men, will do everything he says and nothing he doesn't) can end up as a career day.
