Friend of ours had her grandson staying with us for a while, he wanted to go fishing. His big fish so far has been a 4-5lb bass. Not bad, considering he's only fished small ponds and such.
So.... he really really wanted to go to the local river. So I took him and my youngest and her best friend (the boy is her step brother) over to the Santa Fe and Rum Island to hang out and fish a bit and swim.... (the barrier is there to remind boaters to keep out of swimming area.... doesn't work. water in the spring hole is naturally clear, the river water has tannins like tea... if the barrier weren't there you'd see more mixing of the water, but you can see a little tendril of it...)
No fish, which is what I predicted. I've seen big bass there, but I've never been able to get 'em to bite.
Checked the weather, Shell Mound was supposed to have rain early morning and then be clear until after high tide (when the fishing turns off), so gathered up the kiddies and we bombed over to the coast.
Was able to get a bass fisherman hooked on shoreline saltwater fishing.... We pulled in 4 sharks, missed two more, and got 8 big catfish....
