Relearning fishing
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2022 8:27 am
So I've been away from fishing for about 6 years (according to the last time I was on here). Since then my 7 year old son has recently taken a liking to fishing. I have a very, very small pond with a few crappie in it that I can count on 1 hand the times I've fished in the last 6 years. But recently we've really been having some fun. I picked up a couple used kayaks locally and he's very hooked on kayak fishing now. Found a Vapor 10 for him that isn't terribly pretty and a Kingfish 12 for me that's ok, both were only $100 each with paddles. Hey, why not. Gotta start somewhere. That's what leads me to this post. I sold off most of my fishing gear back then and don't have much now. Looking to restock the tackle box and was wondering on some favorite 'must have' lures to run out and pick up. I still have some slabs for sandies and most of my catfish live bait stuff. But my crappie/sunfish gear and bass gear is no more. Any suggestions on a handful of lures to toss in the cart? Mainly fishing smaller waters like around LBJ but hope to hit Lake Bridgeport later as he gets experience in the yak.
