I took my 6 year old on the hard deck this afternoon at Hyrum. Our first catch was a double and after that it was non-stop. We only fished for a bit over an hour and he ended up catching 7 and I caught 6. He made sure we left once he was in the lead. The ice was a good, solid, clear 4 inches (rounding up) and we were fishing in 8 to 16 feet about a crank off the bottom using jigs tipped with 1/2 of a meal worm. Good times and great memories with the kid.
Fish on!
Thanks for the update!
Thanks for the info bro looks like ill be headed down there this weekend now
Great report, glad you had a great time with your son, lifes good… Later J
Awesome, nothing like grins on a kid. Find any perch?
Welcome aboard, maybe we’ll cross tracks out there. Mind if I ask where you “launched” from? I’ve rarely tried from the W-side, usually a beach to inlet type venture.
Left while he’s in the lead, love that! I’ll bet like most parents, the kid “winning” is a “win” for the Dad too! Game on!
We “launched” from the boat ramp and fished out in front of the cabins. Didn’t see any perch.
Fish on!
