im on my phone right now, but i think if you search the threads this topic might have been covered. it was good info if i recall. could have been on louisianasportsman.com

Yes that info would be nice. We have been wanting to go fishing too but everything is private lakes.

Taking kids fishing is one of my favorite things. If yall want to come catch some trout with me one day just let me know. Just pick a day. I usually end up going on Sundays, but Saturday is doable as well. I usually only need a few days notice. I go out of Hopedale and this time of year its a short boat ride to the fish.

This offer goes out to just about anyone on here. I end up going by myself sometimes because no one wants to or can go.

My ride.

nice boat, I am thinking about selling mine.

Very nice boat man, I am actually looking for one for my parents right now, but it's for their house in South Carolina and I am going to find one up there. I have missed having a powerboat since I sold my old boat years back. I haven't been fishing in forever either too. Luckily I am going to find some time to go bass fishing while visiting my parents in South Carolina.

But yea, I used to love going fishing with my grandfather when I was little. My dad and uncle have taken me some too. Fishing when I was little was probably one of my favorite things to do. It should definitely be a good time for you and your daughter.

Can't really think of any areas to fish in the Gonzalez area though, sorry.

I am all with you after the holidays. I like reds more than the trout but as long as you can teach me how to clean them I'm good.

Where are you located? There's a nice stocked pond at the Waddill Refuge on Foster Rd in Baton Rouge. I think all you can keep are catfish. Bass, Crappie and Bream have to be thrown back.

im in st.amant so baton rouge would work fine...

owen thats a great offer,i think im gonna start her on bank fishing incase its not her thing,,that way were not out on the water having to listen to a boared 7yr old,,i figure a few spur of the moment short trips will get her excited about fishin and teach her you dont always catch.....

 

[Quas]

...you dont always catch.....

that's what I hate, lol

When it warms up how about me, you, Spanky and our kids go on a fishing trip when it warms up? Here's my Christmas rig:

 

[Quas]

Damn, you have a closed bow too?

 

[penguin]

Yup. Was a bow rider but some guy years ago changed it to a center console. It's got a deeper draft than a bay boat, but I can take the family in comfort out to the islands and places where a bay boat can't. Fun ride trumps fishing in my...ummm...boat.

After Christmas it's getting some work done. The engine runs fine but I need a second battery and I would like to re-paint the deck with some new non-skid.

 

[Quas]

I took the railing off of mine, hopefully this winter I'll replace the hydraulic rams since they are leaking.

nice nice,,yea with other kids if the fishing gets boring they could play....
