Fishing Is Good For Kids
Anyway, enough about all that.
Take a kid fishing - even if he or she's not your's.
Take time out to explore the area. Watch for turtles. Point out beaver dams. Catch a crawfish.
Leave the Fancy Fishing Tackle at Home
If the kid is young - say 12 or younger leave all the fancy fishing tackle at home. Stop by the bait shop and ask for cane poles, a small float, number 8 wire hooks, bb shot and a spool of 8 lb test line. Press the bb shot about 6 inches above the hook. Adjust the float for depth.Don't forget to buy a can of worms if you can't dig some the day before.
All that shouldn't set you back more than $15 - $20 and most of it you can use on your next trip.
Kids had generally rather catch a lot of smaller fish, like bluegills and crappie, fast than spend a day trying to catch a lunker (and maybe not catching anything.) Some of those panfish can put up quite a fight.
There is a lake suitable for fishing within a few hours - usually a lot less - of anywhere in this country.
In most parts of the U.S, summer is the best season for this time of fishing, but warm spring and fall days are also good.
Take a camera, but the memories will last a lifetime.
Try to find fishing holes close to home. Kids want to get there fast and get home in a hurry.
It's nice to have a handy fishing hole for spur-of-the-moment trips.

Take your kids to the bait shop. They will enjoy the crickets and minnows.
They would really get a kick out of owning their own tacklebox.

- We need to all spend more time with the kids especially nowadays when they are so drawn to all this indoor technology.
