After years of donating my cash, my son finally hit the jackpot. I know it's the proverbial fish in a barrel, but anyone with experience have any secrets they're willing to share? Also, since his day is at the end of June, I think I might try spend a couple days and see if we can jump on the lake with a charter/headboat. Any advise on who to go with/avoid?

Been there 3 times. Pinch barbs down on hooks, use a small stone fly under a flat, and don't use any live bait. If you do that you can stretch your fishing time to 2.5 hours depending on how many kids you bring. Older kids learn to let the small ones run and they will shake off.

If you don't follow the above you could be done in 15 minutes. Once the fish is on the bank or in your hand you must keep it.

Take a picnic breakfast or lunch and take a "half way" break to slow things down.

By following the above we have managed 2.5 to 2.75 hours fishing time before limiting and minimized fish under 16" with plenty over 20".

I won it last year and it was awesome! I took my fly rod, thank goodness. It was easier to hunt the bigger ones and pull the fly away from the smaller guys. Anything works too so thats not the problem. Being fast enough to yank the fly away from so many willing biters is a challenge!
Chef T....that is exactly what we did years ago when we went. We were casting egg sacks and red worms. It was a lot of fun!!
