Advice Needed - Too long out of action

[baetis]

If your 15 year old hasn't shown any interest in fishing the first 15 years of his life why do you think he will now? I'm not saying that to be rude or anything, I just think that going from no fishing to a 15 hour drive, multi-day trip with someone who doesn't enjoy it, especially an angst ridden teen anger, might be asking a lot of him.

I'd say take him on a day party boat for bluefish. He can catch plenty of big fish and his arm will be sore. If that doesn't get his blood pumping for the sport, not much else will.
