Should I get back into fishing?

Haven't been fishing since before my kids were born. There's a pond about 20 minutes from our place and I'm thinking about taking my 7 year old. Is it too early to teach him or should I wait a few more years? Also what's the bare minimum setup I need to not spend a fortune? Used to do it all the time and kind of miss the peace and quiet honestly.

I've been thinking the same thing. What's holding you back besides time? Because honestly a couple hours at the pond sounds like exactly what I need right now.

20 minutes is perfect, not too far from home. Start small and maybe hit it once a month. You don't need to be an expert, just need to be out there relaxing.

Do it! I got back into it a couple years ago and it's one of the few hobbies where you can actually bring the kids along as they get older. Plus 20 minutes is nothing.

Absolutely get back into it. Having a hobby that gets you away for a few hours is good for your mental health as a dad. Your kids will understand that you need that.
