For years , fishing the salt, I failed at putting my little girl on some fish other than tons of bluefish. Both my wife and son have caught stripers but she never did. That changed over Memorial day weekend. We were up at lake texoma for 3 days. The shad were spawning, they look similar to peanut bunker and the stripers were slamming top waters - gibbs pencils, all along the shore. Day 1 I went solo and got about 12 fish, all 5- 12 lbs. was back at the cottage by 8am Day 2 I brought my daughter. Conditions were totally different, no signs of bait. A few casts along the shore and bam, she was on. Pic attached. We got a few more but nothing like the day before. She was pretty psyched. The next day, I took my son out, bait was everywhere but no bass. We managed a few dinks. Spent the rest of the day tubing.
