You weren't by chance a teacher were you?

I was there on my PA with my 7 year old, Drew, from the crack of dawn until about 1:00. We were destroying the crappie off this one rockpile on jigs.

At one point my son says "Dad",

And I answer "yes'?

He says...."This is the best day of my life"!!!

Guess I got a fishing buddy.

Sounds like a fun trip and nice slabbies too. Was there any issues about getting your kayaks in to the lake? Most SD resevours don't allow sit on top kayaks. Looked for the regs for southerland and didn't see rules about kayaks. Thanks, Mike

Was the the rock pile by the floating bathrooms? That was where we caught ours.

Nice! You were my small business management teacher at Mount Carmel!

Now I manage a small business!

Glad you picked up the kayak addiction, if you ever need a fishing buddy let me know and we'll get you out to la jolla.

Small World! I will have to PM you for a name. I love to hear back from my former students. Glad to hear that you manage a small business. I was given that class at the last minute and had to scramble for the curriculum.

I love fishing for slabs... one of the things I miss about fishing in lakes and rivers out-of-state...

Thanks for Sharing!

Good eats for sure! Crappie are one of my favorite. Nothing beats a good slab in the fryer.
