Little Bay de Noc Fishing Reports

A guy at work who re-married after many years has been talking to me about getting back into fishing.  Well he bought a new (used) boat and was asking what to get.  Well once you start adding it up I could have put him into debt 10-20 thousand but I told him you pick a little here and there and sooner or later you will have it.  He picked a depthsounder and gps up off craigslist and was discouraged on how much you can spend.  Then he told me last summer he took his step-daughter (mid teens) out and on the first or second cast she let go of the rod on a cast and gone it was.. After a chuckle and some thought I asked if he would b home later.  I went home and started looking at gear I could spare (don't tell the wife cause your need all of it..lol)  to help a brotha out.  Well I easily rounded up six rod/reels,  jigs and powder paint, hooks, sinkers, some sticks..ect...  I dropped them at his house and said start with this and if she throws a few away I am not gunna fret..  He was almost speachless.  I also gave him some in-fishermen video's to take a look at.  Well the next day at work he told me they watched video about three times and she was going through each combo and asking questions about everything...  I now have left him to wait in anticipation of the docks going in and the soft water fun to begin.... This  to me is worth ten times fold anything I gave him and put a perma-grin on me knowing he can stay up at night now just like we all do waiting for softer water...lol
