Introducing children to fishing can be a rewarding experience. To ensure a positive experience,
here are some simple tips to keep in mind:
1. Have fun. Seeing your child enjoy reeling in their first fish is rewarding. (Take pictures!)
2. Target areas with a high likelihood of success. Most kids are satisfied catching lots of smaller fish such as bluegills rather than catching fewer, bigger fish such as bass. Catching a few fish on the first few outings will peak children’s interest and make them look forward to the next trip.
3. Use live bait to increase the chance of catching a fish. (also bait is more interesting for children)
4. Pick a place that is easy to get to, comfortable, and safe.
5. Bring snacks, sunscreen, insect repellent and first aid basics. This will make your trip comfortable for everyone.
6. Provide them with simple tackle in working order. Nothing can be more discouraging to a child than complicated equipment or equipment that doesn’t work. Consider giving the child their own fishing outfit. This gesture is practical because short rods are easier for kids to handle.
7. Above all else, have patience. You will be unsnagging lines, baiting hooks, and landing fish for them often. On your fishing trips with youngsters, they will get dirty, fall down or even get a little wet. By taking time to introduce children to fishing, you may end up with a fishing buddy for life.
