Strogest memory I have of my Father was being about 5-6 yrs old taking a long walk from the house to a hidden pond in the woods and having a cheap pole with no tip and no reel, only about 6'ft of line and a hook! Then Him telling me to catch my own bait (green tree frogs and salamanders) and filling up a 5 gal bucket with perch and crappie, and one LMB so big it pulled me into the water. Probably the fondest memory I have of my childhood, and will be for your son also!
(DUSTIN) Yea I feel ya on it being a scary lake, But its always worth boating....just stick to aluminum, and always have a buddy and an oar thats solid enough to push off the stumps when ya'll crawl up on one!
Good luck and have fun everyone!
