7 year old casting

[srj]

Polarbear, thanks for your reply to my post on boat launching. Assuming the water levels haven't affected the weed growth, casting along the cabbage weeds in Sullivans Bay used to be a can't miss prospect for kids. Also picked up quite a few walleyes on cranks doing that.

Any thoughts on a couple spots on the east end of Kab or west end of Nam for my 7 year old nephew to catch some smallies or pike with his Zebco?

He loves casting with his new rod and doesn't have the patience to drag snells or jigs for walleyes all day. Thanks in advance.

Ash River produced a nice northern for my son (4) while we were there memorial week. When I say the Ash River, I mean the river itself, that feeds into Sullivan bay. It's narrow, but plenty deep. We trolled shad raps super slow in the no-wake zones, and marked many many fish against the cliff faces across from the houseboat docks that could have been smallies or crappies. Next year I'll find out.

I have a really hard time believing that any river is void of gamefish. Smallies & current seem to go together like...Kab & Pineflies!

AQman,
Quite an analogy, pineflies and KAB, you should have been here for the mayfly hatch they go together quite well too.

Say, a good place to take the kid fishing from shore, see wildlife and get a short hike in, would be to go into Lost Bay, and tie up at the dock at the trail head that goes back to EK Lake.

Its a very short hike, less than one block, the lake is loaded with small bass, perch and many Northern pike. The shoreline is wooded but there are some opening.

While in Lost Bay, you could pull up on Yoder Island and cast from the rock or boulders that line the shoreline. There is a fair amount of current that runs through Lost Bay so that means fish. Good luck,

Cast the weedlines in the Grassies. They are always good for smaller pike, with a chance at a monster. You will also pull out a few smallies and an occasional walleye.
