[McCarter]

Click on the link and follow the instructions.  Pretty cool little deal.  I cant wait til next season.  I already know who i am going to introduce to fishing.  My daughter.  She will be 2 in may and i think its high time she got to touch a fish.

My daughter is 3 and a half now...and she caught her first few teeny fish this past summer.  Can't wait to teach her more this year.  Good luck touching fish this year!

My daughter is 14 now and still hates touching fish.  I took the pledge a long time ago.  My son is 8 and I can't get him to touch a fish.  I hope he changes his mind this year.  I hope the daughter who is going to be 15 in March changes her way too and decides to touch a fish.  I am hoping her biology teacher, as she is in 9th grade now changes that and peaks her curiousity.  She has never had a problem with bugs.............just fish.

my son was 2 weeks old when he went for his first pontoon ride.  he will be 18 this summer. he would sleep most of the time.  start them fishing slowly.  find some place they can catch fish since they become bored easily.  keep it simple.  it is doubtfull they will be able to fish a Jig of Scum Frog at 2 years old.  teach them to always wear a life jacket when they are near the water.   take lots of pictures.

Got my grandson a new pole a year ago when he was first born. 
Took him on his first boat ride last summer at about 9 months of age.
Whenever I see him, I ask him if he wants to go fishin'.  He doesn't have a clue what I mean.  But someday he will.  And hopefully his answer will be yes.

By then, I might have this fishin' thing figure out. 
Workin on it.

Do the finger strength test... I ALWAYS do!! If they can grab ahold and squeeze firmly, they can hold a fishin' rod!!! (kind of like "if you can dodge a wrench... you can dodge a dodgeball!" Love that movie. Not for babies though )
