The pond/sunfish route is definatley the way to start. My son is 10 now, I started him off that way 5 years ago, gradually worked into saltwater. Start small, worms,small chunks etc..then I went to bottom fishing with him but patience wears thin (on both of us) Once I was comfortable watching his cast/retrieve (trained him at the pond) I got him a 7.5' pole and some light topwater plugs. Teaching the action,retrieve and safety of each style of plug.He casts great,can switch plugs on his own (on breakaway clips) and knows fihermans etiquette. He now has a 9'pole,40 lb braid and outfishes me......careful what you teach them!!!
