If you were to ask most anglers what their favorite childhood memory was, I bet eight out of ten would tell you about fishing with a parent or grandparent. So how do you create these memories for your kids and give them a lifelong love of the sport? Here are a few tips to help make their time with you on the water experiences they will remember.
I love to fish! I was lucky as a young child that my grandfather took the time to take me out and help me learn about the great sport we all love. As a father the most fun I have on the water is seeing my children enjoy the outdoors and spending time teaching them to fish. I also run fishing clinics at the school were I teach during the summer and try to introduce as many people as I can to my passion.
As a parent there is nothing better than getting your children out on the water and enjoying the outdoors. It’s a great bonding and learning experience for both kids and parents. I introduced my son to kayaking at the age of 2. This is not an easy age to start but I feel the earlier the better. If you’re looking to get your child into kayaking there are a few good things to know first.
