    The plan wasn’t to go fishing, but when my son Owen got off the bus and said “Dad lets go today”. I couldn’t turn him down. He has been asking if he is old enough to go to the mississippi yet. I decided we would head to Stoddard and try to find a few fish not concerened with the size, more about if I could get Owen his first river gill. We walked on the ice around 1:45 and got set up in 7′ of water. Didn’t take long and I got a dandy 8″ gill on froggie gill pill with waxie. Apparently Owen wasn’t going to sit back and watch Dad catch fish so he set the hook on his first bull of the river. We ended up with a dozen nice fish and caught about 7 or so throwbacks. They slowed down around 3:30 as I only caught 1 more keeper and left at 4:15.

    Nothing better than fishing with your boys! Quality time on the ice with your children is priceless.

    That’s awesome. My 4 year old is ready. I took him last year, but this year he’s pretty pumped. If there’s decent weather Sunday, I’ll try to get him out for an hour or so and let him catch a few bumpheads.
