Trip Summary

Ryan gave his son Wes a gift of a full day charter. Early fears of cold, excessively windy conditions were put to rest. Braving the cold Erie NE wind and morning temperature of 49 degrees, we set out expecting a tough bite. Well, the smallmouth had other ideas. Ryan dropped his lure to the bottom and in less than 20 seconds was hooked up with a big bass just shy of 4 lbs! Not to be out done, Wes hooked his first before his dad released his fish! The battle between father and son continued back and forth until later in the day the young buck gradually surged ahead! In the process also boating the biggest of the day! Ended up with over 40 fish total combined! Tough bite? I think not! Today proved that there’s still plenty of good families out there and thst father / son trips are anong my favorite. Just an outstanding day on the water!
