I took my boys out on Cutler Friday as well. We launched from Valley View at about 5 PM, and floated/paddled down to Benson, fishing most of the way. A nice 5 hour float.
We only caught two fish between us, both right at sundown. My younger son wanted to fish at night, but as soon as it started getting dark, he suggested we complete the trip as quickly as possible and go home to play computer games. He is 12 and the women were out of town. We had a fun night, and he filleted his own fish, though he needs more practice. I would like to have stayed for more of the night, but this has been filed under the heading of "Only stay as long as the kids are having fun". I think it was a good decision, as he asked yesterday if I could take today off from work and go again.
Now if I could just figure out where the channel and flats are in the south portion of the lake, I would be in good shape.
