My 2 cents......bring other things to do to kill the time. Some boys will fish, others will lose interest quickly. Bring a frisbee, a wiffle ball and bat, rope...maybe get them to do a pioneering project with the drift wood they find.
These are great campouts to work on Cooking skills....no time constraints to have to be anywhere at any specific time. Good time to bust out the dutch ovens, maybe Trash can up a turkey.
or if you are limited on what to bring you could work on Back Packing skills...Pack in Pack out.
I'm taking our group out ice fishing in a couple of weeks, we'll be doing Ice Pick races and may set up a make shift Curling court on the ice (Frozen milk jugs and a couple of brooms)....us old timers have no problem sitting, sipping on coffee and waiting for flags...but the boys may get a little antsey.
