[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]I fished the big pond today with my 10 year old daughter. We launched at the marina just before 8:00am and fished near the front of the marina for about 45 minutes jigging for whitefish in about 11 feet of water. There were 4 other boats doing the same thing as us. We had no bites and didn't see anyone else catch any fish. We then headed east to Cisco Beach and fished about 100 yards north of the new boat ramp. We anchored in 16' of water and casted 1/8 oz. black/yellow maribou jigs towards shore. Before I could get my first cast in, my daughter was into a 19 3/4" cutthroat. We hammered the whitefish until about 10:30 then it went dead, so we moved about 200 yards to the north along Cisco Beach and caught a few more whitefish. We then moved off South Eden and fished in five (5) feet of water and really got into both cutthroat and whitefish. We could look down and see the anchor on bottom without any problems! No really big trout, but all in the 17-20" size. We ended up catching "lots" of whitefish and we kept 17. We caught 6 cutts and kept one. It was beautiful today, no wind, sunny skies and a fun day with my kid. We were off the water at 11:45.[/font][/size]
