dooley 8/8 and pickeral 8/9
Message:
dooley 8/8: my son needed to catch 2 different types of fish for his boy scout merit badge so i figure i hit a small pond on my boat (no kayaks) with a relatively clean shoreline and not too much weeds. unfortunately, 1.5 hours (6:30-8am) of fishing with a salamander and other creature baits didn't produce... i was able to pick up 2 on a jig. pickeral 8/9: fished 6:30-9am and picked up 4 on sluggo's and jigs all off the shoreline. thought i was going to do better with cloud cover, relatively full moon, slight breeze and the impending weather (which never showed up). probably spent a good 1/2 hour pulling the weeds off my trolling motor! boy those stringy weeds are brutal!

Did the badge require the use of artificial bait? On a small pond I'd rig him up some worms and have him go to town otherwise.

Have him throw small inline spinners or small worms t-rigged. Swimming a small grub on jig head would have given him a good shot at them too.
