Who introduced you to fishing?

For me, My Dad took my brother and I fishing at an early age. It took me a while to fall in love with the sport but my brother was hooked day one.

I have my father to thank for getting me started at a young age fishing.. He opened the door to a activity I love very much! We still to this day fish together as much as we can!!

Its in the blood too.. My Great Grandfather ran a charter boat out of PP.. Tillie's Sport Fishing Charters

My Grandmother Lena who helped raise us well into our teens . We lived on Key West in a trailer when I was three and we would catch lunch off the seawall my Dad built every day with a cane pole or hand line. With three adults and four of us kids the fish were a blessing from God .The Snappers and Grunts were easy to catch as we threw out all our food waste in the channel off the seawall. I was the only one to take to it right away. I don't know how many times I got my a&& beat for sneaking off to go fishing on my own. We moved when I was four. My Dad got transferred to San Diego . My Grandmother passed when I was 18 . She taught me so much and I miss her. She's probably making turtle shaped pancakes , frying fish , or Baking stuffed Groupers in Heaven.

My dad taught me fresh water fishing at an early age. My Uncle taught me salt water fishing when I was a teen. A friend taught me how to flyfish and tie flies.

I'd have to thank my grandfather for getting me hooked on fishing. He used to take me when I was young on his 16 ft aluminum boat which he docked in Seaside Park. Him and I used to make the run in barnegat bay behind IBSP to a place called Johnny Allen's Cove. We used to catch cocktail blues on top water plugs every time . It was like heaven for me. Pop has been gone for 24 years now and I'll never forget those great times we had.

My Dad of course you can tell by the picture he was not impressed with the size of the Blackfish he got he was too used to those 10lbers. RIP Dad there's not a day in my life that I don't miss you. Fathers day for most is a happy day but for me it's one of most depressing days I have to deal with.

My dad taught me - fresh water lakes for sunnies when I was very young in the late 50's early 60's. Then my grandfather taught me how to fish in the Manasquan Inlet and PP Canal in the 60's. And finally, in the late 60's I think, my dad took me on my first party boat (the pink and green Miss Belmar) for blues at night. I was thrilled to catch a few fish but I got very seasick. In recent years when I take him out on fishing boats, I always think "this is a win win situation". If he catches fish or gets seasick, what he did for me in the past is reciprocated either way.
