Fun at the Lake as a Family

We went to prefish for an upcoming tournament for the twins. The lake was very high from the recent rains we had received, but it would turn out to be a very fun family outing. There is nothing like spending the day outside with the family without any TV or tablets. I didn’t even get a fishing pole out for me to fish on the whole outing.  It was just a blast to watch the boys catch fish.

Hello everyone, this is not like most blogs about fishing. Yes, we will be talking about fishing and teaching you some techniques, but this blog is about me taking my three boys fishing. Taking kids fishing is a lot of work, but when the kid is reeling in a fish it is all worth it. My three boys really enjoy fishing however, I have learned you have to find the fish fast and get them catching. Kids don’t like going fishing for hours and not catching anything. When they aren’t biting, you need to teach them something about nature. Also, when it is warm let them go swimming or look for crawdads in the shallow rocks.0316161641

To get kids into fishing, don’t go buy nightcrawlers or minnows, put them on a bobber, throw them out, and sit back. They will be bored and start reeling it in, and you will say ” Leave it, you will never catch anything doing that.” That is not to say I haven’t taken boys bluegill fishing with bobbers and nightcrawlers. They have a blast catching bluegill off the bank. It will be a lot of work as you are always putting bait on and unhooking fish, they tangle up on the bank, and lose hooks. But, look at the big smile they have when they catch a bluegill.

I love to bass fish! Something about taking a lure and making a bass blow up or bite gives me a rush. I love catching bass, but watching my boys catch a big bass is just one of the greatest things in the world. It is like your boy making a winning shot in basketball or scoring a touchdown. The difference is there are other people watching and cheering. So, I thought it is time to share these moments with you; the good, the bad, the ugly. There are so many people out there that don’t have time to take kids fishing because their kids are so busy in sports and other activities. If you would take your kids fishing once a month, they will never forget it. Spending time with your kids is priceless. I will try to show you how to catch fish and spend time with your kids at the lake or pond.
