Breezy and bone cold today but my crew was ready to fish no matter what. Charles and Bill had brought their son's Anthony, Zack and Will down to fish from Birmingham AL. I had Bill and 9 yr old Zack and 11 yr old Will in my boat Capt Anthony too Charles and Anthony with him. We started out together but had to split up to get on the fish. The bite was slow with water temperature 51 early but we mangedeto put a few trout and reds in the boat. I found a protected area out of the wind so the boy's would not freeze and starting plugging a few trout. The bite was slow but steady. Around 10:30 the water was up to, 54 and the bite picked up with trout coming in at a steady pace. Called over the other boat and we fished side by side to finish off our limits along with a few drums and heads. Zack and Will were some real troopers I had to give Zack my hat and jacket to keep him warm, but these two young ones had ablast and toughed it out and ended up with a box full of fish. Thanks Capt. Anthony for helping out today Job well done. All fish caught 2 to 32 ft under corks with live shrimp.
