We start off by stopping at a local creek, where we catch "bait". This consists of minnows, crayfish and sometimes leeches. Usually, he spends most of his time playing in the "bait" bucket.
Then we head to the icecream shop on the way to the lake
Once on the water, I usually just anchor out on a weed edge, and dunk our "bait". Like I said.....he spends more time playing in the bait bucket than anything......between drinks and treats that is. Once in a while, he'll put his line in and catch a fish.......he got lucky with that bass! He really likes to just cast and reel in. Doesn't matter if he catches fish.....he just likes to wing something out there, and reel it in....LOL.
Its all about making fishing a positive experience. The fish are just a bonus.
If you asked him what he likes about fishing, he'd most likely say doing donuts in the boat and jumping the waves....LOL......either that or the icecream on the way!! As long as he wants to go.....Im happy!!
