Kids and headboat fluking

I think two is a little young myself. Just my opinion. Too much to go wrong. Pond fishing or crabbing are a great alternative

Agreed, I have brought my girls up on boats since birth between trips in Florida and here in NJ. Need to make sure they are enjoying it vs. just you wanting it.

the problem is her being able to see over the rail. i was 5 when my dad took me on bluefish boats and i had to stand on a milk crate to see over. i dont reccomend that tough, it never made the capt happy hahaha.

I pushed my sons too hard taking them fishing with me every time I went. Now my one son is burnt out and refuses to go anymore since he was in his late teens. Backfired. My other son became a trout fisherman.

I would highly recommend just keeping the little ones at a lake or pond fishing for bluegills with a bobber until they are around six or seven.

And the previous post are correct. The Dorothy B has become my favorite half day boat. I fish with him when I don't want to start my own boat up.

I am going to definatly start her on the bluegil and some trout outings next year.. I was just thinking that maybe next year she may enjoy a 1/2 day headboat ride.. When I do decide to take her I have absolutly no plans to fish for myself.. I just hope to keep her busy with some action.. I will play it by ear and decide next year.. Hopefully I can take her to the Navy pier next year even if its for a couple of hours.. I want to start intoducing her to fishing so she'll have fun even it is only for an hour or 2..

the most important thing is to do what they want to do.my sons wanted to go with me so I took them.they now still love fishing at 25 and 23 and we still fish
together almost every weekend.
