[QUOTE="Boone Caudill, post: 350245, member: 5267"] I started out watching my Minnesota-raised father cuss and swear trout fishing in Montana. My youth years were spent on the shores of Fort Peck Reservoir catching walleyes from shore and trolling Prescott Spinners. Threw spoons in the spring creeks for spawning pike. High school years in the dakotas were for catching crappie and bullheads by the hundreds, ice fishing as much as we possibly could, and our walleye fishing in Minnesota moved to lindy rigs with slip sinkers. Post college moved me primarily to Sakakawea, once I could afford a boat anyway, and have been primarily fishing there the last 25 years or so. Bottom bouncers are fun and easy with the entire family, and crankbaits are fun for me alone, or sometimes with my kid. Will pitch a few jigs in the spring, but for the most part keep it simple with the old bottom bouncer. I would like to someday work more with jigging raps, but right now I struggle with them. Need to improve my skills with pinch weights and dipsy's as well. My job can be stressful at times, so I really need to be able to relax when fishing. [/QUOTE]
