My granddaughter just got a new pink Barbie rod and she wanted to try it out, so we picked up her cousin and off we went to American Lake. Launched the boat about 1100, and it was a great day for a boat ride (overcast with a light NW wind). However, I was skeptical about out chances of catching any fish with two 3-year olds holding the rods! We trolled our way once around Silcox Island and ended up with a couple of Kokanee on the Barbie rod!! The hot setup was a pink Apex baited with Gulp maggots behind a nickel sling blade. The grandparents and grandkids had a great time and made some memories.

Thanks Zodiacman, Toni and Aaidian! We had a great time being out on the water with the kids and introducing them to fishing. I just might have to borrow the Barbie rod next time I go out!!

love to see the kids excited to catch fish! I've done numerous kids fishing derby's up on Deer lake at our church camp and years later I have them come up to me thanking me for the memories!
