Our youth fishing camp is winding down again for another year. Today I took out five more kids who are now begging their parents to purchase fishing gear.
That's what shiner perch does to you.
The top rod today was surprisingly a 6 year old, who outfished his 9 and 11 year old friends.
The quiet ones are always the ones to watch out for, they pay attention and end up becoming fishing machines.
Water clarity continues to be excellent. It was so clear today that the fish could be seen pecking on the bait under the float. The only problem is that the kids started looking at the fish instead of the float.
As I brought up earlier, if this clarity continues for the next several weeks, October is going to be incredible in the Tidal Fraser River.
Shiner perch fishing was spectacular. As we approached incoming tide at 1:00pm, the fish were being hauled up once every couple of minutes. My job at the end was simply threading worm on the hooks and unhooking fish.
Here is a photo of the shiner perch, prior to being released. Notice the vertical display, every fish was seeking for shades.
The other highlight of today's outing was the visit by these swans.
One more day, then I am done with touching worms and shrimps. Bring on the roe.
