Up a creek

My 8yr old daughter and I spent time on a pond up a creek yesterday where the reds have been hanging out, most of the larger reds have moved out with the heat but Rachel managed 4 reds up to 20 in on shrimp under a cork
.While she wes fishing I decided to tie on a topwater plug that Tincan had given me some time back, the the action of this thing is like a Topdog but better and has a very pronouced click to it(no name on it ) within about 45min three trout hit it like a freight train, it was amazing how hard they hit it WOO HOO
two 3 pounders and a 5 to the boat, real fat and fought hard. What a great morning to spend with Rachel MEMORIES TO BE SHARED FOREVER

Sounds like you both did well. Those sound like some really nice trout. Topwater is the best.

I love the way a trout hits topwater. It's more fun than bass fishin'. WTG Penn, nice catch Rachel. Do I hear trout and redfish on the grill?
