Default Re: Kids and headboat fluking

seen it too many times kids on a head boat with their parent, the kids are sleeping of running around or just plain board.you need to wait till they are a lot older and do it from land when and where you KNOW they will catch something like fishing for snappers from a pier or like steve said pond or crabbing, and only for a short time then go and gets some ice cream , what I am trying to say is you have to make it interesting for them, some kids will eat it up.

as kids 8-9 yo my cousin taught me patience we used to sit on the dock at SHB Bklyn with a bamboo pole a length of leader and treble hook and a can of cat food chum the water and snag snappers and mackeral all morning


If they dont catch anything immediately they are bored forever, in many kids patience has to be learned

I cant wait , Soon me and my buddy are gonna take his grandson to the PP for tog we got a plan to teach him patience and wait for the bite, and what it feels like, he is eager to learn so the learning curve will not be bad, i think he is gonna make an awesome toger, hell stay at the raill all day he will fall asleep there.His grandfather (my buddy) cant get out of the house alone to go fishing without the kid wailing he wants to go.
