Marshall my grandson (5yrs old) was on spring break last week so we headed to Tim’s to spend a day trolling and getting him some practice casting. As you can see he was proud of the fish he is holding and is ready to go back when things warm up a little more. He is learning and is very good in the boat. And thats not just a Grand Pa story.   DT Red Craw on 8lb Sufix Clear Blue Pro Mix  www.rapala.com www.sufix.com   I fished Center Hill today with good friend Ken Jenkins.  The 4 above was the best for the day. Spinner bait was the lure of choice. One here and one there. 52 to 55 degree water,  And I was a good net guy!!! Ken as always was great to fish with.

This was the first opportunity to try out a couple of my “NEW 13 FISHING REELS”  If you didn’t know Rapala has purchased 13 Fishing. And you can view the entire line at Rapala.com  I’m going to give you some info on these- I was very impressed with both the spinning and casting.  #1 Modus C2  features high-spin spool bearings, and many features found in our higher-priced models.
