My fishing partner (my 8 year old boy) and I have been planning to take on the elements and try our luck at catching some whitefish and a trout or two this Friday and Saturday. He has worked very hard (scrubbing floors, etc.) to convince his mother to allow us to fish both days. Its amazing how motivating thoughts of a 10lb mac can be to an 8 year old.
It looks like it is going to be cold but not storming. However, I'm wondering if we will be able to launch at Cisco Beach with all the snow?
Assuming we can launch our 16' tin tub I'm also wondering how I might minimize my partners snags on the rocks? We spend most of our time trolling, as casting usually leaves he and I both frustrated with a lot of lost tackle.
I was thinking that vertical jigging might be the answer but then I remembered that he has had a hard time hooking fish when jigging in the past. Any suggestions? Would a road runner be the best option?
