Taking Kids Fishing (How my YOUNG SON catches LUNKERS!)

Taking Kids Fishing: https://theminimalistfisherman.com/fishing-with-kids-let-them-fail/Show more

A while back I started a routine with my sons: once every week, one of them gets to pick something that we go do together. It can be a bike ride, a hike, or - maybe not surprisingly - a fishing trip. When they select the latter, I try to set them up with a presentation that catches fish, but one of the things you're always battling, is the 'ol attention span.

You've fished with kids. You know. This is the struggle.

The presentation we used in this video was simple - a bobber, a stickbait, and a wacky hook. We also made sure to use this presentation in the spring, when there was a lot of shallow activity. THIS IS IMPORTANT, because if there is TOO much WAITING for the kids... you'll jump straight to snack time.

Fortunately in this video, my son shows how effective this is, catching 3 fish in less than 75 minutes, and all three were darn good fish!

Try it out - and let me know how it goes!

This outing took place the third week of May.
