8/30/08 - Anthony Jr. and I went fishing at Corson Park in Millville NJ. He did all the reeling except getting it through some slop near the edge. He used a mini-tube on a jig head tipped with gulp maggots.

Here is little Joey's first submission for the weekend: Caught TWO little bluegills, casted all by himself for the first one, reeled it in all by him self, BUT - he was a little afraid of his catch - hard to get him to pose with it He still wanted to catch another, and, after a while, he did - with our urging to pull hard when the bobber went under, he caught it, and reeled it it in, all by himself. STILL afraid of his catch and hard to get him to pose with it.

Legbrkr put on a TinBoats T-shirt for a pictue of the first catch and I (Fishingcop) stood in to get extra points by having two members in the picture with our little angler...

Can't figure out how to get theses in order????? Everytime I add a picture, it puts it in front of the last one???? Oh well, you can figure out the progression of our 20 minute fishing trip :lol: :lol:

Hoping to get out again tomorrow for some more action on the neighborhood pond View attachment 6

Took the family to a local camp site for the weekend.All of us in this tent, brings us together:
There are 84 sites and the place was packed.When I finally found my kids on Saturday to go fishing,they were having so much fun they didn't want to go..so I went by myself,knowing that there was still Sun.and Mon to get them to go.Sunday was another non-fishing day,so that left today and what a crappy weather day it was.Blowing,half rainy the young fella still wanted to go,so we loaded up to try our luck on a new Lake.It was a crystal clear lake but I thought with the wind it still might be good.I was wrong,it was tough and the bite was sloooow;between us only landed 16 fish.Found out later there was a little tournament the day before.
I let Sam use the trolling motor for as long as he wanted,which wasn't to long being as windy and cold as it was:
He landed a few small fish using a salt/pepper curly tail,only losing one fish of any real size.
Will do it again soon,gotta git him a better rod/reel combo,maybe for Christmas...Does anyone have any ideas on a combo for around $100,hes 11 and will take good care of it.

Well we stopped by Seymour Bait & Tackle this morning, picked up some crickets and ice and head to Douglas. We got there around 8:30am and launched. There were only 15-20 boats on the ramp. We took off a little ways up the lake and started fishing. We bluegill fished and swam on an off until noon. It got hot fast, so we found a shady spot and had lunch. After lunch we fished and swam some more until around 3pm when we called it a day. My oldest won the day with 12 bluegill. My youngest (with a little help from dad) ended the day with 8 bluegill and one smallmouth. The wife ended up with 4. God blessed again and everyone had a great time! Thanks the Lord for the great day!

Below is a link to the slideshow and a photo album of still shots check them out.

THANKS AGAIN JIM... we had a blast! Well we hit our little honey hole for this one. If I didn't have a freezer full already I could have cleaned a ton. My nephew Daylen bagged 14, Taylor pulled in 6 including her first one on a spinning rod (should have seen her face when the drag started singing), my son Nicholas caught 2 and then played in the woods chasing critters (my nephew told him he only had to catch one to win a prize :lol: ), and I caught and released 25 keeper gills. It was a blast!!!!!!!!! Here are few pics:

And one of me (my daughter said " you can't win, but I want to see your picture on the computer anyway :lol: )
