Re: How Did You Get Into Fishing?
My dad and grandfather were into surf fishing for blackfish, stripers, and porgies from a LI Sound Beach close to family's summer home. As a very young child they used to take me and my brothers with them and when the bite was slow they taught us how to fish and we loved it. The first fish I caught "all by myself" was a frisky sand shark in that was quite a battle at age 5. Since that day in 1979 I've been hooked and will be for my entire life. The thrill was instantaneous as from that day foward, fishing was a passion. I even forced my mom and grandmother to take me fishing when dad and grandpa had to work. Even my parents' friends took me fishing, especially "Uncle Artie". Thank you Dad, Papou, Yaiya, Mom, Artie and everyone else who took me fishing when I was a child. Moral of this post is simple, TAKE A KID FISHING!!!
