Thanks, shorefisherman.Finally got my boat back operational. Intend to take my two daughters up in a few weeks. They have never been. Could use a string stretchin' by an ol' brown fish!

just got back from hollow, lowest temp i saw was at 71.8.
caught three small smallies bouncin tubes at 15 ft of water.
saw some school of baits in coves.
the best bet for your kids is to fish with live bait. good luck!
