Encourage our youth to get outdoors

I was talking to another Crappie.commer today. Comparing notes or whatever. We were talking about how it is diffacult to get some kids up early to go fishing or whatever. Seems like they sleep late or have their own agenda ( video games , hanging out with friends , shopping , cell phones, ect.) Our sport is not being picked up by our youth and it is sad. Just to think they have things to do like video games and such instead of enjoying the outdoor life. Remember to take a kid fishing and encourage them to take a break from this technology that seems to control too many lives these days.

Well said!!

very true, very sad but very true!!the ratio seems to be 1 out of about 5 times I ask , little buddy says yea I think I can go........ and I have made sure not to burn em out. when they say their done and ready to go , make it happen or they may not want to go again. even if it is a 2-1/2 hr drive to get there !!

Great info!! Good job Nimrod!!!

Not much more fun than putting a kid on some fish. Nimrod has been doing this for quite some time now. Some of the kids have been young and some of the "kids" have been much, much older. Keep up the good stuff CA and save a fish for us in a month or so.

AMEN, Brother!

I'm just a big kid, now!!!! I agree with what everyone has said about Nimrod! Keep up the good work, man! :HandsClapping

Finally talked my daughter into going with me this weekend on spidering trip, she said I guess I can give up one day to spend with my dad!! Lol!! She doesn't like that getting up at 4:00am to well lol!!! Bet she' ll like when them rods start going down and she don't know which one to grab next!!!! Woohoo!

If I took my kids rigging, that is all they would want to do. They are learning to tight-line, and are loving the "thump". We fish under cigar floats some, and it is funny watching their reaction time early in the trip.

Dad and son I guided for today was sorta like that. The son was not interested at first. The first fish almost pulled to rod out of his hand. At the end of the trip the dad asked about another guided trip for another child, that one insisted he get to go again too! lol

Great job Nimrod! Way to be a great ambassador to our sport! Thankyou.

Encourage our youth to get outdoors ::: My dad did that with his foot in out Butts to get us out of the house.:biggrin Kids need someone to look up to. What about US

Take em every chance you get!

I have 4 kids and 3 of the are old enough to fish at 3,7,and 13 and they cant wait for me to pick up our new boat but I warned them we will be getting out early they said who cares were going fishing lol I love my little Country kids they said there is nothing better than crappie and mud pies lol!

Nimrod, let's have a "back to school" tourny on here for the kids. Any kind of fish, young ens have to catch them. Proud parents get to post the pictures! Whatcha think?

Sounds good to me I love to look at fish pics
