Took my secretary's son out for his first time ever last nite. For an hour and a half. Black and Blue Salted Large size tube in about 4 feet of water with mixed weeds/sand bottom with Bass beds all over. He just kind of "jigged" it a little and reeled in slowly at times - sheer luck but so many fish, was inevitable. I think he had fun :)
Up in Minnesota in the South Metro - Prior Lake area 67.6 water temp. Was on the same lake Friday and Sunday for over 10 hours and saw hundreds of beds and dozens of fish but only caught 2 small ones - think the pattern is changing now :)

Looks like you've got a fisherman there, something tells me it won't be his last time out. Love to see the kids hooking up with nature.
He couldn't stop saying thank you for taking me out.
