Only thing my uncle knows are them ponds. He's a retired ocean fisherman from the deep and been doing it all of his life till he retires. Retiring age is no car so without a mode of transportation, all you got are them land of 10,000 lakes to choose from and they typically have your typically fresh water gills, crappies and large mouth.
The guy lived both in wis and mn and does not know about any good fishing hole. I fished with him before. It was the first time I uses a bait shop bought leeches and caught my first large mouth on it. In cali, they don't sell leeches for some odd reason. Maybe illegal for invasive species I dunno.
I want to put him on something different. Maybe a walleye, suger, white bass or even them little smelt. Gotta put him on something other than starter fish cuz the guy literally fishes on a dock, next to a bunch of kids who uses their mickey mouse rod and reel.
I think the guy deserves a last hoorah before he does cuz at 90 years old, you can't expect for next year to put him on some fish. It has been 7 years I haven't been back to the midwest.
This trip is all about him and spending time with him before he dies. I might not have this same opportunity for next year.
I haven't caught me a white bass either. Striper, that I caught many and plentiful but white bass intrigues me. I want to do it on a live minnow and artificial lure. If covid wasn't here, I'll take him to wis and fish behind hmongrock house and catches all of his wipers.
