Great Thread!

This is a great thread, the guy who clued me in to it, I first met on Cutty when he was there fishing with his dad and brother. It was nice to see them all together. I then mentioned it to my son and daughter when I saw them at Thanksgiving that year. Over the years my son and daughter have fished with me a dozen times at the most. They enjoyed it but not enough to do it more. I started them young, taking them to NJ in Dec. to catch the last schoolies before they left for a long winter, they were 5 and 6 at the time. I have taken them wetsuiting, they both liked that adventure and caught fish besides. My daughter has been to Block with me, and my son, with me to Montauk. They know fishing through me. They are in their 30's now and have approached me about the three of us going to Block next spring for a week of fishing. We have talked about going to Montauk the next year and then Cutty. They want this to be a yearly thing and spend a week with me fishing. There is no pressure on my part, I know that doesn't work in the long run. I can fish 24/7 but need to tone it down a little and play off them and see how it works! Something to look forward too, and to you guys with younger kids it can never be too late. Gary
