My 5yo fighting a harbor barry.

here is her 1st fish---

and here is the shot of the proud dad and daughter before launching the first time.

For 2008--- this was my favorite trip of the year!! Will remember it forever! (We had one trip with over 20 barries-shorts in a 3hr session!)Resolution for 2009-- get Amber out more often!

Love it now...Having raised my daughter since she was 5 (solo) we have had the best times fishing. I was once a deck hand on most of the local boats and still keep in touch with most of the captians. Sierra is now 14 and a cheerleader so, the time we had, is time I will always remember. 3 years ago I bought her a kayak and she took to it well, we spend time in the summers kayaking the back bay and where ever we can. I have another 5 year old daughter and will be blessed with my third little girl in April.

I will take them fishing too.

Thanks for sharing your cheer!

I live for taking my boys out (check the Avatar).
I my oldest (9 in March) is now big enough to take out my wife’s yak while the youngest (8 in April) rides my bow.
It can be tricky with 3 on the yak at one time but we make it work. I even took them out to LJ one time and they freaked out so much when the dolphins came by for a look. Unfortunately they ziged when I was trying to zag on the way in and we rolled in the surf. They don't want to hit LJ any more (at least until they are bigger...I hope).
We hit the bay and harbor a lot.
It's good to know I will always have a fishing buddy that is ready to go at any time.

My niece began fishing around age two and so did my nephew. Most of their early pictures of them fishing are on film. They love fishing and catching fish. Actually my niece brought in a stripe marlin on vacation in costa rica, with uncles help of course! This pic is about a year old or so and is of a day of fishing Catalina,first bonito and then this bass during lunch time. These kids know how to fish.........

Everyone's photos submitted were terrific! These kids are too cute with their huge smiles and their catch! I especially enjoy seeing little girls get hooked on fishing, we need more women yak-fishers! My son, Wade, also loves fishing. He has even caught a WSB by himself!! His mom almost died of pride that day!
