I have created a monster
Took the day off last Friday to spend some quality time with my 2 1/2 year old son. Decided to spend some time on the playground close to to the beach so in case some fish popped up we had a shot at them. Worked out well, Blues came in and were cooperative. I would cast, hookup and then hold the rod and my son would get between my legs and crank away until the fish was on the beach. There were several other fisherman there as well and at one point I looked up and saw all these grown men admiring what my little boy was doing and thinking back to when they took thier kids out for the first time. Life is good!

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Wow - that is a great story. I got a smile just reading it. That is what fishing is all about. I do not have kids of my own, but have taken my nephews out and it is always special. Even if the fish were not so cooperative.

I can't wait for that, my 1 1/2 year old son is already running around the yard with my poles. He can't hold them up and reel yet, but he tries. Mostly drags the tips on the ground. Next summer should be great.  |

lifetime of memories and good times, great thing to give to your kids... my son was about 6 years old in this picture, up and has the first bait rod out about 5:30 one August morning....
Don't seem like that long ago... where does the time go?

My youngest is closing in on 22. Can't believe how fast that went. His Sister is 24. They both turned out to be fine adults, I think due to time spent with them kivver fishing. Keep up the good work! |

Congratulations...you qualify as a Super-DAD! Anyone who takes the time to get a child interested in fishing is nothing short of a hero to me.
Isn't it amazing how some of the best fishing trips you've ever had involve someone other than yourself catching the fish...not to say it isn't a bad idea to crank one in yourself every now and again.
