Maybe I can chime in on a perspective from someone with no kids. I always grew up on my fathers boat and his father always had a passion for fishing. My father considers himself a fisherman, but i consider him more of a boater with fishing rods in it. Any chance I could I wanted him to take me out. Even when I younger we would be out on buttermilk bay cruising around and I would get annoyed when we would do more cruising than fishing. Thats when my dad realized my passion for fishing was greater than his and he supported it greatly. And he became more of a fisherman because of that, and its somethign we share till this day. My brother on the other hand was never really into it. He would come along for trips but usually would rather be doing something else. when this was apparent he was never forced to come along and my Dad would always focus on baseball, and golf with him rather than make him come fishing. I think you either into it or your not, and if their not find what they are passionate about and focus on that. Some day they will ask you to go fishing to repay you for the years you sacraficed a a great tide so you could take them to the batting cages.
