Tenant: hey should I fix the holes from hanging pictures?

Me: nah man not if it’s not excessive. It’s easier if I just do it myself

Help

Got my kid this kayak and it’s great except for that huge hole in the middle of the seat. The poor kids shorts gets soaked every time we go out. Any ideas on how to close this up? Best we had so far was duct tape and that lasted for maybe a half hour before water got in. Thanks yall!

A little inspiration

So I was bass fishing this morning and caught this guy on a 5” dinger on a size 4 ewg hook.

I’ve been considering getting an UL setup for a while now but this guy fought hard enough to convince me.

Lew’s Mach light 5’9” one piece will be here in a couple days and I can’t wait. Any good suggestions for lures for panfish?

First timer!

Took my 5 year old out for her very first time today. She wound up catching 11 Sunny’s, and this largemouth! I spent more time taking fish off her line than I did actually fishing!

I also caught my PB largemouth today. We cleaned up, and she can’t wait to go fishing with me again.

First time success!

Posted a little bit ago about wanting to get my kid a fishing rod. Yall gave me some great advice and I took my 5 year old out this morning.

She caught 11 Sunny’s and a largemouth! We were out there for 3 and a half hours, and I had to beg her to leave.

I also caught my PB largemouth on my very first cast with a Ned rig and a nightcrawler.

Kids and fishing

So I’m pretty new, just a couple years into fishing and my daughters (5 & 8) want me to get them fishing rods. I doubt they’ll stick to it, but for me it’s worth giving it a shot. Here’s my question: are they too young? And why are all the kids rods spincasters? Is that better for kids than a regular spinning reel? Why?

Any insight is very helpful. Thanks fam 🎣

Retention pond

Saw some kids fishing a retention pond near a shopping center in my town so I decided to give it a go while I had an hour to spare today… 2nd cast with whopper plopper. I guess you just never know where the hogs are 💁🏻‍♂️🎣
