We started at a launch ramp where many watermen slip their boats. I saw a young waterman and his wife un-baiting their trot line and tossing the used razor clams overboard. I talked with them a minute and they said “Bring the kids here, lots of perch feeding down there”. They were right and we found the Perch in a feeding frenzy. We caught many here and the action was fast, usually, before the small jigs hit the bottom a perch would be on the line.

After a while the little ones grew bored with this spot and we moved to a Kent County access point on the Sassafras River. They slept soundly on the short drive to the next spot.

At this place there was a good multi-species bite happening. Sunfish, White Perch, Yellow Perch and Catfish took a liking to our 1/16 oz. jigs tipped with worms or minnows. These were either fished below a float or fished alone just swimming them back to shore. Yuki caught a very nice

My grandson Aiden fishing with his New fishing rod. It is a “Dock Demon” by Zebco. These 30″ rods are perfect for the little ones. The larger rods were somewhat overwhelming to him. This one was just right for his small stature.

Allison and Aiden with Allison’s first Perch. caught all by herself! Her brother wanted to touch it, too!

Yuki Yackanech aka “Super-mom” was catching fast. We found a feeding frenzy where the trot liners were un-baiting their trot line.

It does not get much better than this! Fishing with my grandson. Keep the little ones close at hand when fishing on bulkheads and piers. In cooler weather life jackets would be worn. This day I opted from comfort and kept the little ones very close to me.

Look at the smiles on their faces! Adorable! Who says catfish are lowly critters? This one came to visit us 3 times in one hour!

My ultra-light in full bend… both kids got in on the action. Just about the most fun this Old man is allowed to have!

almost immediately. The White Perch were very willing to take our offerings and at times the bite was pretty fast.

No big fish were taken this day but it doesn’t matter. The small fish provided fast action for the little ones and lots of smiles for all of us. This was a Really fun day!
