I printed and laminated pictures of fish, hooks, rigs, and weight styles to place in the boat so that my daughters (and others) can look at them to assist in identifying.

Nothing beats time catching on the water. First thing is to keep it simple and most of all entertaining.
Yeah, I really need to get better at fishing to ensure they enjoy it. I agree, they get the most entertainment from actually catching.
hey,tiger it would be great if you could bring your kids to nimrod lake it is nothing to catch 50 to a 100 crappie a day a lot are small but kids don't care it would last a life time !!!!!!! CA (nimrod) has a catfish whole that is fantastic you should see some of the kids faces after there time on the water!!!! our fall camp is going to be there sept 7 & 8th. would make a good time to bring them.
Improve your skills so you can keep the children in the fish. You'd be surprised how fast they'll pick up on it as long as you keep it interesting and fun for them.Thumbs Up
That's it in a nutshell!Quote:

I'll miss that one, as I have some training scheduled for work. I bought my first boat last October and my schedule has been crazy ever since. Go figure. Thanks for the invite though.Quote:

My brother and I were using this method today. Between the two of us, we had sixty bluegill and a few small catfish in about 2.5 hours. That's about sixty fish more than anybody else caught. We didn't have any maggots, so we used wax worms.
There was a family fishing nearby us (and catching nothing.) I felt bad for the little girl who was using a cheap spincast outfish and staring at a motionless bobber. I asked her if she wanted to try using a telescopic pole. She said, "Sure!" Ten minutes later, she had caught four bluegills.
As noted above, simplicity is key. This method is simple, and it works.
Maybe they should word it differently. They pick the unlucky minners.Rofl:biggrinQuote:
