I want to take my 4 year old boy to Lindon harbor tomorrow eve and get him in on some of the Hot White Bass bite thats going on now. I myself have never caught a white bass and although in the recent report they said spinners were producing well, I am not willing to subject myself to the hooks in the ears and nose and where evers that are bound to happen if I turn a 4 year old loose with a spinner. Don't get me wrong, he can cast pretty good...for a 4 year old...sometimes...with help most times...and definitely with heavy adult supervision or else him, I or an innocent passerby risks serious bodily injury, life and limb.
So I was wondering if there was a more child friendly method, maybe not quite as effective but enough to keep the attention of the typical 4 year old boy. I was thinking of a technique that may be a little closer to worm and bobber rather than repeatedly casting heavy Iron.
Like I said I have never fished for whites before so am not familiar with their feeding habits. Maybe something like a jig under bobber that may be slowly and occassionally twitched back toward said 4 year old boy.
Any info would be appreciated by said 4 year old boy, afore mentioned boys Papa and any innocent passersby
