My dad started me fishing, but not just any type of fishing it was crappie fishing. This would be in the 50's, and on Santee. We would go to stumphole and fish with minnows, we caught lots of crappie back then. We started jig fishing in the 60's, and also caught lots of crappie. This would be the main reason that I still love crappie fishing. I think that as we see people write their start of fishing, someone in their family started them fishing. I know its hard for us older kids to take the youger kids fishing, but their are many lasting memories for the kids old and new, with this said TAKE A KID FISHING.
