Took a young family fishing and played guide today. Started out not too early because of the little guys managed a few Crappie at first and returned all of them then decided to set everyone up with jigs under slip bobbers and the search for perch began in earnst. But before we caught any perch our #1 little guy Andrew caught his first fish ever and it was a bull bluegill that was guarding a nest, put on a great show and really impressed Andrew as he kept saying every few minutes after that, "this is really fun". Then Ashley, Andrews mom started to hammer on the perch and didn't take her long to figure out how to get em out of their hide e holes. Fish and sun and fun was had by all even the usually grumpy ole guide. I am sure some good memories were made today and we came home with plenty of fish.. Klahowya!
