Starting a little after 8am Friday with my step-dad Ron Gray, he has never fished with lures and was ready to give her a shot. Our first stop was at a ditch intersection in Farm 13 that I call "Carolina Corners", dad hit a fish on his first cast with a firetiger rattletrap and I had to explain that it wasn't always that easy. The fish were occasionally busting shad and casting anywhere nearby resulted in a strike.
With about 7 or 8 fish by 10:30 we shot back down "Slingshot Slough" to the "Tombstone Flats" and fished floating rattletraps for 5 more fish.
About 11:30am we went to another intersection known as "Soupys" where we caught a few more on traps before a sudden shut down at about 1pm.
We had to be back at the ramp by 2pm so we hit 1 more spot on the east side of the farm, I pitched a florida-rigged Gambler Bacon Bit in "junebug" while dad tossed a Gambler flappn' shad in "rainbow trout". We managed 4 more by 2pm and headed for the ramp with 22 or 23 fish landed.
The fishing was a bit slow but due to patience and persistence Ron caught fish with lures his first time out, people who regularly fish know that is kind of special. Ron is also special, he's the coolest dad a guy could ask for and I hope I get to see him more often, love ya pop !!!
