I was driving by some cool freshwater places the past few weeks. Yesterday I as I was taking some pics, I ran into some younger fishermen fishing a certain spot. They didn't care whether fish were there or not, just lookin to get out and fish! (hope u dudes checked out the spots a little down from where you were and caught some fish) :HappyWave:

I remember reading here in a post a few months ago that kids are participating less and less in fishing and hunting. That's a bummer, I remember as a kid whenever someone said "we're goin fishin" it was like I couldn't sleep the night before.

The comments by fishincrazy taking his son fishing also got to me, a Dad taking his son fishin. :clapping::thumbsup:
Fishin's an addiction for me. I take kids fishin a few times a year, but I could do better. Most of the time I fish at night, so it's not too practical, but I could definitely target more time to getting kids into fish.

So I thought I would help a few of the Dads who come here all the time and make this a fun place for me to hang, with this contest.

I'm on the road a lot, and have scouted hundreds of freshwater spots over the years. I've fished more than a few of them.







Contest rules:

These places will all be ideal places for a Dad to take his kids fishing, and catch some fish, be it catfish, bass, sunnies, perch, etc.

I'll post a pic, once a week or so, of different parts of a spot you would only know if you fished or drove near there.

If you know the place, PM me with a guess. I won't give ya any clues if you're wrong, that would be too simple. :D

You can guess as much as ya want.

Don't post your guess in the thread. I ain't about makin it easy for a internet lurker, that wouldn't make sense.

Every week, Ill try to post another pic, another piece of the puzzle, to help ya's along.

First person to guess the place wins: 3 freshwater lures if ya guess it within the first week of the first pic being posted, 1 or2 if ya guess it anytime after.

I don't have much to give, but these lures will catch fish, and will help you to get your kid into fishing without worrying about if they will lose it or not.

At the end of 90 days, I'll post some more info about the place if it's available for public fishing. If it's too small, all I'll post is the pics, no description. Life ain't supposed to be easy. :D

Contest open to members with 25 posts or more.

I've been very lame in getting around to put these pics up, so the 3 freshwater lure offer still stands if ya guess it by the end of next week. :D

Voyager35 wins this contest. He guessed within a mile of where it was, that's close enough. :clapping:

Can't disclose any more because that place can only hold one family at a time for fishin, so the contest is over. Thanks to all the guys who PM'ed me with guesses, better luck next time. :thumbsup:
