Title: Update from Wisconsin
Post by: davek on January 31, 2010, 08:59:32 PM
Greetings to all Ice is still good up here The friends of Pool 10 had their kids fisheree today with a turnout of 104 children I must say it was an awesome sight to see all those families on the ice. Unfortunately the fish didnt cooperate but im also proud to say my 7 year old Brett caught a 9 inch white bass which was big enough to win overall honors what a sight to see his smile. The moon is full so hopefully the fishing gods will smile favorably on everyone. God bless be safe and teach a kid to fish. Dave

Thanks Dave,
I am sure that that made his day and a memory he will never forget.
I really want to focus on kids events next year. Let's start brain storming on ideas, locations and events.

We would like to help with this....I wonder if we could find someone wit a farm pond to have a kids day on...This way at least we know there will be fish that will bite and it would be safer to have everyone in a smaller area...We could have a safety class first thing then have a kids tourny where all of the kids win something.... I am sure we hall have enough equipment to furnish rods and such for them...

The farm pond and safety course are a good idea up here the tournament was three hours long which was way too long, two would be best, but remember you will draw kids that will have very short attention spans. A lot of the children here wound up playing on the ice. A quick thought my stepdad was a mechanic for Anderson Concrete years ago, its located on Frank Rd in Columbus. When i was a kid it was called Scioto Lakes Fishing Club, I was a member and the fishing there was awesome not sure what they do with it now dad passed away in 1987 I do know someone that works there, the water can be deep but was wondering if anyone lives close that can check the ice, if i recall the southeast lake was shallowest and had excellent crappie fishing back then.

I know that the Div. of Wildlife district 3 has a pond for the kids to fish in the summer. There are some really big fish in there too from what I hear. There also the Turtle Pond that only kids can fish in the summer. Maybe the DOW would let us use them if they know that it is to teach kids ice safety. I would love to help out with a kids day. I cant wait until my son gets a little older to take him out.
