This is a great thread! I have two girls - 13months and 2.75 - and can't wait to get them out there with me. A trip to the local aquarium sparked a major interest in the ocean and I've been trying to nurture that interest in the older one ever since.
Definitely start on something small like sea worms off the local pier. You'll catch all kinds of interesting things - most of which are part of the of the food chain that that you'll need to learn about, and can be "live-lined" for bass after dark.
Take pictures of what you catch and look them up on line, post pics here and ask for a fish id or ask the local bait stores to learn about their place in the local ecology.
Another suggestion - ask the locals who runs the best/knowledgable tackle shop and stick with one shop. Business and loyalty buys more than bait. Good intel about specific spots it not easily obtained. The better you get to know the "sharpies", the more you'll pick up. Most people that are passionate about fishing will be glad to help get kids into fishing.
Good luck and welcome to the club!!
