Re: Belated opening day post - 4/3/14
We do need to keep the youth involved. Kids get overly consumed with digital mediums and video games. That being said, there are no video game consoles under my roof. I refuse it. As he gets older, I'll teach him how to tie knots, bait a hook, cast a lure accurately, etc. He already willingly handles bait and has no fear of handling fish. Most importantly...all he knows is "catch, picture, release"! Soon enough, I'll have him fighting tuna, chopping chunks, and telling fish stories, all while becoming a better fisherman than me. At least I hope so anyway... Having his attention and interest now will hopefully yield ideal results years from now.
