1 hr or 4 hrs that is what its about.when my girls were little and wanted to go with me all i did was bait hooks and cast for them and take off 3 and 4 innch bream. when they want to go fishing it's all about them and thats when its the best of times. i didn't relize that till they got older. now i'm waiting on the grandkids to get old enuff to go they are 1,1,3. i can't wait!!
