My first fishing trip with my son

[limeyangler]

Was at home with my son all day today while Mrs. Limeyangler was at work. jack my son was in a restless /whiney mood and by 3pm i was beginning to get a little restless myself. I decided to try him out fishing for the first time as the weather was windy but a decent 14C.

 

Headed down to a small local lake instead of out the front of the house for a change of scenery for both of us. Jack had a blast. I think he really loves being outside, and had an a great time as custodian of the minnows. he had his whole arm in the minnow bucket and was totally absorbed by the little creatures for the whole half hour we stayed. Got some priceless video and picture memories of our first fishing trip together.....just thought i'd share it with y'all.

Nice! There probably isn't a better way to spend an afternoon than the way you did!

[Syn]

Yep I can tell he's going to grow up loving fishing and the outdoors.

Great Job. You're a fine dad. Little boy had a fun day.

 

 

Tip: Make backup copies of the pics and videos. Data recovery for important pics is a PITA! Sister learned that the hard way.

Truly one of the nicest threads I've seen in a good while Simon. There's a bonus for you there as well....you'll not need to buy a baitwell aerator. Thanks for showing us Jack's progress.

[MJL]

Great thread Simon...Really love the pics and especially the vid...You must be so proud to be in the midst of raising a fishing monster who will eat, breath and live fishing for the rest of his life

 

I hope you don't plan on having grand kids in the future... Girls what?

[solopaddler]

A fine broth of a lad.

 

He looks like he really wants that pike!
