Greetings All,
I still read the forum about every day enjoying everyone's messages and I have a question for all of you. Next year, my son is going to be a senior in high school. I have had him fishing with me since he was old enough to put a rod in his hands. For the last few years, we have fished together in club tournaments, both of us winnning either a lunker or a 2nd or 3rd place ( in our club that $5 and $10 resepectively) a few times but most of all just enjoying fishing and the time together. We aren't the greatest/professional anglers but we do get lucky every once in awhile and we do have fun. When my son was little, he always used to say "we need to go somewhere and catch fish like they do on TV". I had explained to him that those people fish for hours/days and they edit a lot of the footage. Having been on the lake for hours numerous times without as much as a bite, he began to understand that. Well, he will be off to college in another year and I am sure that he will not be available to fish and hunt as much at least for a few years. So, here is my question. I would like to take him somewhere where we can catch a boat load of fish as a graduation present NEXT YEAR. Economicly, I don't have the funds to take him to Mexico for Peacock bass or anything like that but is there an economical place that anyone knows of within about a days drive of PA where I have a chance of this happening? I am asking now because I know that places book up and this way, I'll at least have a year to plan and put extra cash away.
