Vail Lake with the kid
Vail Lake Saturday
My son and I got on the water around 8:30. First time at the lake. Very nice lake with plenty of shore fishing. We pull up to the first point and see some bass crashing the surface (its sunny already) ??? what the hell? Throw a red/ orange crank and hook up on 4 bass on 4 casts. This is gonna be a nice day.  My son said he wants absolutely no assistance except to tie the knots. He is casting by himself. He finally gets it down and connects on a couple nice lmb. I threw a rapalla for a nice 15 inch crappie.  If you were to seriously fish and start earlier in the morning you could have a 50 fish day...easy We ended exploring the island and chasing ducks half the day. Drop shot a worm for a catfish and a carp. I used to think that someday my son will become a better fisherman than me......yeah, I think that day arrived already. about 15 bass (two were close to 3 lbs. rest dinks) 1 crappie 1 cat 1 carp OH by the way....Vail Lake is ALL FISH catch and release. HUGE SIGN

Maybe we should stop inviting you and start inviting your son when we fish.

Great post! That place looks like a lot of fun. I have always wanted to fish Vail. Does anyone know what time the gates open there?

Pretty cool story and pics. The daughter had some soccer games over the weekend. Nothing better than hanging with your kid. Good job Matt!
