OK so it looks like I am going to need a bit of advise about fishing.

[XXX-er]

I am going bar fishing on the skeena with junior in an effort to father-son-bond but its a role reversal thing cuz they got the jet boat the gear the whole gig scoped, they even cast their own lead weights at the shop ... I just need to show up with the right rod

hopefully tie into a 30 lb chinook

The pie Pronounced (Cropy) will be the best eating of the 3. A 10 inch pie is a nice fish

Stocked lakes have allot of little bitty Bluegill and pie. So plan on throwing allot of them back (If you hit a good spot. You just keep the ones you want and clean them all at a cleaning station when you get in. there are always places like this around Campgrounds boat Launch ect.

A very easy way to fish for all three leaning towards Bluegill is A bobbin and Meal Worms, You can also cast and real using a Watusi Lure (Small lead head and mostly fine feather)

Fishing is always a good way to spend an early morning. Talk to the kids. And when you are at the marina or local bait store just ask, tell-em taking kids out, little experience, just want it to be fun. You will get info.

Practice ting knots prior to going out, you will snag and lose rigs, you will need to be able to tie on a new hook , lure. More than once.

Beetle spin no doubt

Skip the fishing trip and stick to your true talents. Take them out to sushi instead and show them how good you are at catching clam.

I don't know where you're located, but if you're east of the Mississippi, I probably wouldn't eat what you catch. Don't really need to ingest all that mercury.

Are you east of the Mississippi? Trout streams around here are fine... and I'm talking about <1hr from major cities (DC, Philly, & B-more) not deep-in-hola WV.

oh hey, thanks now what do you know about fishing?

I regret to advise you that I am not able to give any advice on fishing

[neufox47]

See if the local DNR has a map of the lake, often they mark fishing holes, reefs, etc. Are you in a boat or on shore? Ask the bait shop guy where to fish and how. Tell him that this is probably the only time you'll be doing this, hell be more inclined to give you fishing spots.

If they are old enough give them beers and tell them some stories of how to get into girls pants.

which ironically smells a lot like bluegill.

Um, Neufox...they're going sunfish fishing, not trying to catch a WR muskie.

I should have said New England. It's more the regions that are downwind of Ohio that are an issue, not the mid-Atlantic and the south. Streams are also a bit different from lakes in terms of mercury deposition.

Back in the day after Adam & Eve finished doing the wild thing for the very 1st time God came came down but he noticed Eve wasn't there so he asked Adam where's Eve?

to which Adam sez "she is washing herself down at the lake"

To which God replied " Man I am never gona get the smell outa those fish!"

So, thank you all for the advice. The trip was a constant laugh from start to finish. Both kids knew a shitload about fishing and enjoyed breaking my balls all day. Ages were 12 and 13 so no beer was consumed but advice on chicks was sought and given. ( I may even take their advice ,haha)

Caught a bunch of farm raised trout and I gutted them and cut them up and cooked them just like the pic in this thread and that went over big. Thanks again.

pie are only pronounced croppy because people want to fool themselves into thinking they are not eating crappie. They were called crappie for a reason.

You Fucked up. 12-13 is the perfect age for an uncle to supply beer.
