Recently, I was fishing at the pond in a subdivision on 190. It's not the cleanest, it's shallow, and it's eutrophying (becoming over ridden with with aquatic organic waste), but it holds a massive population of blue gill, bream, suns, and the occasional sac-au-lait. While fishing, a little boy came out with his french grandmother. They came out and were throwing huge plastics out in the water with a wal-mart fishing rod and starter kit. Clearly they didn't do this much. I offered my help, and re rigged his whole rod with a 5 inch cork rig. You know, the most basic rig that your dad whipped up for you on your first fishing trip, bobber, weight, hook, worm. I showed him how to cast the spin cast rod and tried my best to help him. That day, in a period of about 3 and a half hours, I had caught about 40 something little fish. In amazement, they watched me cast out no more than 6 feet and pull out fish after fish. I explained to them, trying my best to show off a bit and look inattentive as I systematically casted, set, reeled, unhooked and threw back, how I do not really believe in plastics and rarely use any other lures besides a spinner bait. After about five fish. I showed how to bundle up the fresh french bread and stick on the hook. He was a bit hopeless when it came to casting and setting the hook, so I ended up doing both of those things along with unhooking the little fellas. When he finally broke down and wanted to try and do everything by himself, I started exchanging stories with his grandmother. Eventually she told me about how when she was a little girl, in France, her father and sisters would go out and noodle large catfish from the river. I was quite amazed knowing that one of the only catfish in that part of Europe was the Wels catfish. a monster that had the privilege to be featured in one of my favorite tv shows, river monsters. As the day grew older, he had caught a few fish. I like seeing these younger people get interested in this hobby and think that the small ponds here on the northshore are a great place to teach sons. grandsons, and strangers alike. There is a huge population of people who are completely ignorant to fishing small ponds and its always a pleasure to teach them and watch their faces light up as they pull up a fish, big or small. I highly suggest taking anyone who hasn't fished and wants to to any of the secluded, or improperly fished (as none of the fish have ever been caught in these) and show them how its done. People under estimate whats in there. Have fun and tightlines! - Northshorepanfish123
