Back when I had a 14' aluminum, I would launch after work at the King's Island launch in Enfield, head upriver to just behind the middle "island" hump (old bridge piling mound) and beach the front of the boat on the down current side. Then I'd bait up two rods rigged with a #4 bait holder hook and a couple of split shot, and put on a whole night crawler. I'd cast down current, prop the rods up on each of the gunnels and wait for the rod to double over. You would never have to wait long, and you'd never know what you'd catch. I caught white cats, big bull-head, large mouth, small mouth, stripers, carp, walleye, sturgeon, eel, and every kind of panfish you can think of.

It's a great way to get a kid excited about fishing. Lot's of action to keep them interested.
