I have 2 boys now almost 16 and 17. I took them fishing very young and they were always enthusiastic about it early on.....my oldest son especially. As they grew older the oldest enjoyed it and my youngest did not except when we vacationed on the Cape and then I was happy to see him willingly grab his rod and run down to the harbor on his own but that was it...and he enjoys it when we are away! I have never really pushed them or forced them to go....the oldest wanted to and usually the youngest had to come along whether he wanted to or not! I do not get the feeling either of them will have the passion for it like I do but you never know! I fished growing up because I enjoyed it.....my Dad was not passionate about fishing....so how did I get so passionate about it I wonder??? As Numby said.....fishermen are born not made!
We are going away next week and I know my boys always look forward to the fishing when we are there!!!
