Sorry, a bit late on this.
I took my little guys to Weller's Bay again last Saturday with a couple of friends. We took the 4-wheelers and set up off Smokes Point in about 10 FOW. I drilled two holes for the boys and within seconds my 7 yr old steps right down into one of them. I yanked him out as quick as I could but he was soaked. I took his boot liners and socks and wrung them out, set up the shelter and got the heater going. So there he sat, boots and socks hung above the heater, bare foot and fishing away catching a few perch and quite happy about it. That's my boy!
I got my other son set up and he could see bottom. He became real exited about a big fish down there. I had a look down and a pike was below him. He spent the next hour trying to get him. The pike would swim in, then off again and repeat every few minutes.
After an hour or so, my friends wanted to go for a ride on the 4-wheelers and my son wanted to go as well while I sat with the bare footed boy. He went out and seconds after the 4-wheelers started, the pike smashed a gold buckshot. I yelled at him to get back and reel it in. I think the sound of the bikes starting set him off. No matter, there was one happy boy with his first pike through the ice.
