That is super that you took your son out with you on your reconnaissance
mission. I fished the Stilly with consdierable success yesterday, but if I
had a two year old son, I would have in a heartbeat traded yesterday for a
Snoopy bobber/rubber fish day. Yours is the best fishing report I've read
all year.
