So my 8 yr old did enough damage to her bobber that she started to lose a little interest on our third walk over to the lake, I managed to use parts of this bobber and a little sinker to fashion a little jig out of it, without the actual float. The plastic slips were still on the line, the float part broke off on the rocks, it kept the sinker and hook line in nice balance for easy casting and retrieval in these light wind conditions. She found some large rocks to play with while the 11 yr old and I had the derby. She still won again but it is always fun to catch fish when improvising. Still to early for spoons and full bait casting beyond little plastics.
Were heading down to a real lake for a couple days away from the main shelter in place, we should see some catfish and stripers.
