Always nice when the Smallmouth come out to play

The first Smallie was caught on a Blackfly Lures Hex Blade in Banana Curse, there were a bunch of smaller ones too but they didn't get their pictures taken lol. The water temp was 81 degrees so I switched over to the Texas Rigs and Flipp'n Jigs and they helped put a few in the boat as well and I left just before the fireworks was going to be set off.

Kids learning to cast at a Church Youth Group Meeting in Lucknow

I was asked a while ago to speak at a Youth Club about fishing and I took a few SpinCasting, Spinning and BaitCasting rod and reel combos for them to try using and this happened lol. How long would it take for you to get this out these pictures were taken 1 minute apart not bad and saved cutting it all off and respooling, lots of picking and a few patience helps and a few tricks. I didn't notice there was a problem until I was taking them out of the truck the next day lol someone was maybe worried they did something wrong, it would have been a good lesson to show them how to get it out, always use Braid when you're learning as it won't kink and make a weak spot like Mono and Flouro will.

I was too be there 6:30 until 8pm and it was 9:30 by the time I was ready to pack up, some of the youth and parents stayed later to talk and a few people out walking stopped by as well, we started outside and planned on heading inside but the casting went so well that they brought chairs our to the sidewalk and I used my tailgate to set all the tackle and my lifejacket to talk about different baits for different species from panfish, Bass, Pike, Musky etc and Safety about wearing a Lifejacket and Sunglasses to incase of falling in or lures/hooks coming back around your eyes.

Winner of the Teeswater Kinsmen Fishing Derby Prize

I donated a 3 hour fishing trip on Silver Lake to the Kinsmen Kids Derby and Everett, Dan and I finally connected and had a Great Multi Species Evening on the lake and the last Smallmouth I had on when I said I have one and by the time I turned around Everett was ready with net in hand but Dan had to help him a bit but he did AWESOME and we stayed longer than we were going too.

Youth Fishing League on Chesley Lake is in the books

I missed a picture of Finnley the Junior League Champion with 122 points and second place was Kellen with 75 points over 4 days but here is Tyson the Senior League Champion winning with 208 points and Benjamin was Second with 141 points over 4 fishing days. We couldn't have asked for much better weather, it was hot a few days but it could've been much worse and the rain held off mostly on the last day just a bit at the start of the seniors fishing time.

This is what happened when Grandparents bought a Gift Certificate

After a busy day at work I met these young guys for a few hours on the water. We started with Spinnerbaits, Swammers and Flipp'n a Texas Rigged Craw and there were a few caught on them all. We fishing outside weed lines, shallow weed flats and deep water with the outside weed lines putting most of the fish in the boat. It's always nice when someone new to Flipp'n stays with it long enough to catch a few on it and kept going back to Flipp'n, might of even wanted to buy the rod and reel he was using lol. We found a bunch of Crappie but they weren't having anything to do with them so Bass and Pike were targeted.

Until next time and there will be a next time.
