Couldn?t take it any longer and decided to drop the boat in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

ffice:smarttags" /><st1

lace w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Blackwater</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">River</st1:PlaceType></st1

lace> today. My 10 year old daughter Madeleine wanted to tag along so momma layered her up and off we went. Dropped the boat in and headed to an area I have fished for the last couple of years and had good success. We fished for a couple of hours marking few fish and absolutely no action. She was getting cold and I convinced her to check one more hole before we headed in. Dropped the trolling motor down and we watched the bottom finder an once again nothing. As I was heading up to grab the trolling motor the fish finder sounded off and we marked two larger fish right on the edge of the hole. Out go the rods and BAM... FISH ON. Drag stars singing and she is holding on. It was a beautiful fight and 5 minutes later we have the fish boat side and in the box. We marked plenty of fish but couldn?t coax another one in the boat. Looking forward to the next trip!
