Fishin4Fun, Chick, Crappie, 03.02.14, My Favorite Girl

Well, I was finally able to take my granddaughter fishing today. I was able to take her as long as I got her home in time for church. I planned on letting her sleep until 6:30 but that didn&#39;t work out as planned. As I was getting the drinks and snacks ready, she came to the kitchen and gave me that &quot;where do you think you&#39;re going without ME&quot; look. I had to chuckle. I told her to sleep a little longer but she said &quot;no thank you, I&#39;m ready to go.&quot; (love this girl!). The boat was already hooked up and pulled out of the garage so off we went…<br /><br />We put in at HB and got a message from Seth and Mike telling me they were on a good school so we headed that way. It wasn&#39;t long before we had one on the line and I let her reel it in. Great way to kick off the day. Our luck in this spot wasn&#39;t as good as it was for Seth and Mike so we moved on to a dock that normally produces numbers but no size. I figured just to keep her hooked up would be a good thing. Heck, she ended up outfishing me (again). Final count was 10:6. Yes, I enjoyed being outfished by my girl. <br /><br />We hit a couple of other spots and she just loved getting on plane and going up and down the river. Saw a couple of Osprey and one had a fish as it flew off it&#39;s nest. She wanted to go back to the numbers dock but said she wanted to go eat with me before I took her home so we weren&#39;t able to swing back by. <br /><br />I would have to say that this was one of my best days on the lake. She had a great time and a full day. Up at 5:30, fished until 11:15, had lunch, went to church, and had ball practice. I wish I had half the energy this girl has.<br /><br />I have no idea what the water temp was but we fished in about 12 FOW using 1/8 oz jigs. Colors were Outlaw Special &amp; Blue Thunder. She fished hers under a bobber and I just used a slow retrieve. <br /><br />Big THANKS to Seth, Mike, Mike, and Bobby for the help. My girl had a great time and I can&#39;t wait to get her back out there. <br />
