xj-15 2007/05/05 cinco de mayo

we went for one more family trip while everybody was still excited about it all (also spot xj-15 was supposed to be stocked, but maybe they took the fish to the perc ponds for kids fish day instead, as I heard the xj-15 stock did not happen).

this time we tried a kid each in the tankwell and a parent paddling. the kids had vhf radios to test out. I set up a portable sonar unit (an eagle ds 245 for only $70 from cabelas, internet special!) for the second boat.

my wife and older boy struck first with a pretty little rainbow. it hit a 1" berkley power nymph on 3lb leader behind some seps colorado blade micro flashers and a little bullet weight to keep the rig a bit deeper. they had just one rod out, my youngest and I went with two rods out. we got two crappie on my rod with a dodger and grub while my youngest's luck finally ran out on his roostertail and salmon egg combo.

Looks like one of the boys has a linecounter on the rod?

think I have one just like it, if you want it pm an address and I'll send it to you

gratis of course

yeah, we do use baitcasters and those linecounters for 'precision' trolling,  .

but blue hold on to yours, I got about 3 or 4 of them,  .
