    Fishin' with a 5 Year Old

    This Friday, I'm off work and my 5 yo daughter is out of school. With the nice weather I figured we'd take the boat out and try some fishing and put in some daddy/daughter time. My choices of locations are the Ohio River, Taylorsville Lake, or Guist Creek. Can anyone give me some ideas on the best place to go for some action. I'm not worried about size, just action to keep her interested. A bunch of 2" bluegill would be fine if they're biting anywhere. Anyone got any ideas to help me out?

    Re: Fishin' with a 5 Year Old

    Went to Guist Creek yesterday with my 16 and 12 year old sons. Caught a bunch of nice crappie. Had probably 75 bluegills that we turned loose except for one 7" gill. They boys were using a 1.5" tube tipped with a wax worm or two. Come out of the ramp and go left, just past the no wake buoy is a holler on the left. Caught most of the bluegills in there. Great place to take kids. We had a blast.

    Stay away from the Ohio river. It's too fast and high now.
