My Sons First Fish

[Pinhead]

That's great! Nice to have that on video. Now that he's *bit*....just keep him fishing to keep him hooked.

*Fish with your kids when they are young, so you won't be fishing FOR them later.

We've been practicing in the driveway winding up bottles of water and he picked it up pretty fast. We trolled out to the mouth of oceanside harbor and got lucky with a tiny trout lure that he picked out himself. Instantly he said he wants to catch a bigger fish… the "bug" has been transferred!

The PA14 is a great platform and so stable, he sat between my legs while I peddled and he even fit in the front hatch with the top up. We saw seals and boats it was just so cool to show the young family around. My wife did great with my 2 year old daughter too.
