Great picture! I like to see kids have a good time fishing. My dad started me when I was about four and I have been fishing ever since. Today I went back to Merwin. There was an excellent bite early. I started at 0530 and had my limit at 0630. I was fishing below Woodland Park making large circles in the middle of the lake. When I got a hit I would make small tight circles to try and stay with the fish. I caught all my fish on fire tiger spinners that I make. Today I learned that a small difference in depth can make a difference. I set one lure at 22 ft and the other at 24 ft. Both lures were fire tiger spinners, both were set back 35 ft and both had the same bait. The one at 22 ft caught 4 fish and had two hits that did not hook. The other nothing. I raised the lure at 24 ft to 22 ft and in a couple of minutes I had my fifth fish. All my fish were 13-14. They look bigger but when you measure them they are not.
