My wife and I decided to bring our 6 month old baby girl out in the boat for the first time on Wednesday.
We headed back up to Cascade. I was the only one fishing as my wife just enjoys relaxing in the boat. Our daughter really seemed to love being out there! [

We got there about 9 am and decided to fish for just the morning as we didnt want the baby in the sun very long.
I perch fished again for the first couple hours. I kept about 20 perch with the largest 14.5".
At around 11 am, I decided to troll our way back to the ramp. In the 40 minutes or so that I did, I caught some nice fish. The first and 2nd fished were a 22" Coho and a 20" Rainbow. We also caught some other nice rainbows in the 16-18 inch range. I was using walleye trolling gear. 10' rods, Daiwa lincounters, and leadcore. The hot bait was a #5 Shad Rap in "Hot Clown" which is a Mills Fleet Farm exclusive color. Awesome pattern.
