August seems to be the month of family perch fishing trips, yes I do other trips to be sure but for some reason the perching seems to bunch up in August. It is always a lot of fun and if I do it right we will have the school of fish close to the boat where we can all see the fish gathered around the bait waiting to take a turn biting the hook.
This morning was no different dozens of fish came to the boat and one youngster was bitten by the fishing bug for life. He learned not only how to catch fish but to land them and release them alive with minimal impact. All great stuff.
It is always great to hear “aww do we have to leave” at the end of the trip. Or like to day have a young man get a rod out of the boat and continue to fish from the float at the launch while his family got ready to go. An appreciation of the outdoors is truly a gift of a lifetime.
