I think any of our sponsor boats and the anglers that frequent them, take special interest in taking care of kids as they are the future of our sport and their business.

There are usually 2 types of bottom boats inshore and mid/offshore. If your 10 year old daughter is new to fishing on the ocean, I don't think I would take her on her first trip on a mid/offshore boat. It's usually a longer day and could be made even longer is she gets sick and you don't want her first trip to be a bad experience. For this reason I would stick to an inshore boat and maybe try to find a 3/4 day boat instead of a full day.

As far as inshore boats, I would bet most if not all will be switching over to Blackfish once 11/16 rolls around. Having said this, although they will be targeting Blackfish, some Seabass will be around as well and you could target them by using Clams instead of crabs.

Hope this helps and you and your daughter have a great time.
