Default Re: Kids and headboat fluking

I took my 8 year old for the first time on a headboat this summer. My tips. Never longer then a 1/2 day boat. Try to fish from AH when they stay in the bay. If the drift is fast kids will lose interest so try to get a non windy day (and don't take the PM trip when the light south breeze starts in the afternoon).
Misty Morn does a nice magic hours trip.
Until at least 5, I would avoid the headboats. Try a rental in Shark River. Lots of short action and you can keep the trip short.
Good luck.
PS don't rush it, once they get hooked then it costs you a lot more to go.
