I took a day away from all the stuff we are doing to gain custody of my wife's 3 small Grandchildren to take the 5 year old to the Riverpark for a while. He starts kindergarten tomorrow. I rigged him up a spincast with a crankbait and we tried casting until I couldn't stand all that adventure anymore. We finally settled in and simply trolled down the Chatt State side of the river. I hooked a small spot that jumped off as I handed the rod to Josh to reel in. As we passed by the mouth of South Chickamauga Creek, Josh yelled "I got one!" Sure enough, he had his 1st bass and it was a smallmouth to boot. It was a joy to spend a few hours with my Grandson even if I did get skunked by a 5 year old! Oh well!
