I'm thinking I'll take my oldest son (7-years-old) to Pelican for the first time this Saturday. It will be my first time, too. We won't be leaving Provo until very early Saturday morning, probably around 5 a.m., so I assume we'll make it to Pelican between 8 and 8:30 a.m.
My goal is to really make it a great fish-catching day for him. I'd like to stop by Sportsman's Warehouse on Friday before we go. Any suggestions on what kind of lures, baits, and tackle I should purchase for the trip? Our main focus will be for the bluegill, but I wouldn't mind tossing a lure or two for a chance at a LMB. Any suggestions on what to get while I'm at Sportsman's for LMB?
I know that we should fish tight into the weeds for the blues, right? Should we be looking for anything else as far as structure goes? I'd really appreciate any information to make this a memorable trip for my son.
By the way, we'll be fishing in a 14-foot aluminum boat without a fish finder.
Thanks,
