We went to Steel Lake two Saturdays ago so that my son could try his new fishing rod, the newest addition to the family arsenal of “Weapons of Bass Destruction.” This is gear not for the faint of heart fly fisherman or pursuer of pan fish (please note I am only teasing). We were hoping he would catch his first bass.

Despite the overcast skies, my son thoroughly enjoyed and seemed to only care about making long casts, chuckling and giggling as his bait went from launch to landing on the water a country mile away.

Unfortunately we didn’t catch anything during his 40-minute attention span, which is pretty good for a 5-year-old, especially when there is a playground close by. We headed to the playground for a little jungle gym fun and did other father and son things all day long.

Sounds really fun! Me and my 4 yr son went there beginning of June to try out his new "Bob Bob" (Spounge Bob) fishing pole. He liked it alot (for the whole 15 mins lol). He caught a really HUGE Perch, probly 24-48 inches long..... okay okay maybe about 2", and then hit up the playground. Thats the best part though right. The fact that they'll rememeber it cause they got to do what they wanted and will have a happy memory of it. Anyway, just thought I'd comment from one proud father to another. God Bless!
