Thinking about getting back into fishing

M

1w ago1 min read

Used to fish a lot before kids. Realized my 8 year old has never been fishing and that's a crime. Found a decent spot about 45 minutes away that has bass and bluegill. Planning a trip in a few weeks when the weather cools down. Getting him his own rod and making it simple so he doesn't get frustrated. Really looking forward to having that time with him and maybe getting hooked on fishing again myself. Any tips for introducing a kid to fishing without killing his interest?

Do it. My oldest is 8 and I finally got him out on the water last spring. He was hooked immediately. 45 minutes is nothing for memories like that, man.

That's awesome you're making this happen. Between the three kids and their activities I barely have time to breathe, but fishing is the kind of thing that actually matters. Good on you for prioritizing it.
