Comments:
It was a guided trip with Scott and his twin boys Brandon and Chris. Scott wanted to get the boys some fishing experience and he did not care what we fished for as long as the boys had a good time and caught a few fish. We went out to the rock islands and soaked some crawlers; unfortunately all the bluegills we caught last night seemed to have disappeared overnight. The bluegills were not very plentiful, but other species of fish were caught.
After a couple of hours I could sense the boys were getting bored, so I changed things up a little bit with a boat ride and a trip out to the large sand island near Dakota. The boys appreciated the stretch of the legs and the adventure the large sand island brought. They also had the rare opportunity of seeing a soft shell turtle laying its eggs and they also saw a newly hatched soft shell turtle.
The largest smiles from the boys of course came from when they caught fish, but also when we went fast in the boat. The family was visiting up from Texas and they appreciated the scenic beauty and especially the cooler temperatures that we have been experiencing.
