Well we were down at Beaver bay a while back and I had taken my wife, daughter and Mother all fishing that Saturday. We headed out some what early because the wind was suppose to pick up. Went to the walleye spot and caught 5 walleyes only one was a keeper and headed back into the bay due to the wind getting rough and I didn't want to make a long haul through rough stuff with the ladies. Got back in the bay and headed over to a spot where we caught descent crappies earlier that week. It was pretty windy and the Anchor lock wasn't holding the best on the trolling motor but it would pull me up close where I could cast a slip bobber and small jig tipped with a minnow and we would drift back out a bit and repeat. Anyways I had the kid just fish with one rod while Mom and Grandma made up some sandwiches(their experts at this now). The first cast was made and I am not even sure if the slip hit the bobber before the first crappie had took. My daughter got him to the boat and he flipped off. So I threw it back out here and boom another one. In the mean time another boat was watching what we were doing so they pulled up to the tree line and decided to do the same thing. Plenty of room between us of course so no worries. Well we got the fish in the boat re-baited and threw it back out and boom another one instantly and my kid is laughing having a great old time. Threw that one in the live well and repeated it another 4 times. All the while this other boat was watching in disbelief. My wife had brought it to my attention that the elder man was scowling at us and looked very unhappy about my 5 year olds success that day. My daughter asked if she could go eat a sandwich and I said go ahead. So I fished for one cast and caught one before my Mother wanted in on the action. Then she caught one and handed it off to my wife and she did the same. During this catching extravaganza the elder gentleman had grown so frustrated not catching anything he had set his rod down, crossed his arms in the pissed off manner and was trying to burn a hole though us with his icy stare and it was cold. His partner kept fishing with no luck but didn't seem upset like his older counter part. Anyways as I sat there and fished a while longer I really wanted to say something to them but the wife said not too, which I am glad I didn't. But if I did it would have went a little something like this.
"Hey sir would you like my 5 year old to come over and show you all how to catch them crappie"
Hope you enjoyed my little story cause I sure do love telling it.
