Outing with my son at a little pond in Newington
Message:
I can't believe I left the camera home:( I took my son fishing yesterday around 6 at a little pond in Newington. The place is loaded with sunnies, carp and cookie cutters with the occasional lunkers. My son was using a Diago push button with a bobber and a worm. I baited him up and showed him how to cast (he just turned 3). Once he got it down, he caught about 5 sunnies in 10 minutes. I had a pole and took one of the sunnies he caught and put it on a hook. I saw a 4lber that was chasing sunnies away from her bed. I tossed the sunny right by it and bam a 4lber hit and jumped out of water. My son went nuts. I landed it and let him check it out. He could fit his whole fist in the mouth. I dropped her back in and focased back on setting my son up. I baited him up and he casted out. He was watching his bobber twitch when all of a sudden, it went totally under water. He was going nuts, I look and it was 1.5 bass. He pole is pretty cheap so it was like he was realing in a tuna. I landed it and he liped his first bass, then tossed him back. It as awesome experience that i will remember the rest of my life. I am going to Cabelas and getting him a better combo because his Diago combo broke after his bass. Any good suggestions for a 3 year old set up. I thinking a small ultralight spinning combo. I find the zebco's break a lot and can lead to more frustration than fun. I need like a 3.5' UL with a light weight spinning real. I considered a ice fishing setup as well but not sure how that would work.
