Afternoon Delight......

Nice that your daughter got into fishing. I had my step-daughter fishing when she was five and by the time she was seven she could cast better than many adults. We also took her hiking, backpacking and wilderness canoeing. By the time she was ten she had bagged several Catskill peaks and spent 5 days paddling the Allagash and skied some of the most hairy terrain in Utah. When she reached her mid teens she sort of rejected all of that because of the usual teen "I hate what my parents do" thing.

I always hoped she would find her way back to the outdoor life, but now she is 25 and has a boyfriend whose idea of getting outdoors is going to the mailbox. I hope the seed we planted may take root again some day, but I envy one of my friends whose daughters are still eager to go fishing with him now that they are in their twenties.

Congratulations to your daughter! That's a nice pickerel. For years, my son thought ice fishing was the greatest thing, since I would come and tell he & my wife about the outings, yet she wouldn't allow him on the ice, not until he was 8, and then a whole new world opened out for him. He's 16 now and we hope to go yet this season. Ice fishing is unique. The quality of serenity is exquisitely unlike doing anything else.

It's kinda funny because I have three kids a son and twin girls! They all used to like fishing as little kids and my other daughter was really into it the most out of all three. Then they grew up and my son fished with me quite a bit for a while but never has any time anymore since he's a firefighter, a Head Wrestling Coach for Spotswood Middle School, Works at Friday's AND has a girlfriend!!! LMAO That Kid doesn't even have time to take a leak!!!! Kelly became more interested and now next to Jeremy I fish with Her the Most!!! She always wants to go and fish for different species and different places Day or night Hot or cold it don't matter! SHE"S UP FOR IT!!!!! Daddy's Girl for sure!!!!!!!
