May 6
Was able to get out today with my Dad. Wanted to introduce him to sightfishing now that I got the Mitzi. Got on the water early and it was real foggy. I've been out there countless times and still lost my way a little bit, everyone should be extra careful in the fog like that. We definitely weren't running wide open. We got a few trout early, biggest one was 19. My Dad had something absolutely slam his plug and I knew it was a good red right away. He landed a beautiful 32.5 inch red, his biggest to date. After the sun got up a bit, we got to poling in some skinny water. Probably saw 25 to 30 fish total in real skinny. We had some really good shots at fish but Pops needs a little practice with the sightfishing. That's okay, today was just his introduction...not his test yet. I had a pair of fish behind the boat at one point so I got my presentation out there in front of them from the poling platform and the bigger one ate. Measured 30 inches. It was the first sightfished red out of the Mitzi. Couldn't have been any sweeter. Hopefully we can get my Dad on a few and he will fall as in love with sightfishing as I am. Great day on the water. Back at it on Tuesday. Tight lines.

Mine absolutely inhaled a ba-donk-a-donk right beside the boat ( a first for me), while I sat up on the polling platform, then it was a chinese firedrill until Luc got him in the net. His ate a green paddle tail, before tearing up the skinny water.
Teach a kid to fish, then if you're lucky, he'll take you with him.
