austwave Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Trying to get the little bloke enthused about the whole fishing caper. Problem is like most little kids (4yo) they get bored easily if there is no action. So I have to be fairly certain something is going to happen when I drag him away from his toys to do something. The missus was out so I convinced him it would be a good Idea to head down to the canal and throw in a line. A little tailor A Toad because he could see it and wanted to catch it At which point he decided he was hungry and wanted to go home. A half hour investment in getting a new fishing mate , it was fun to see a bit of excitment while his attention held.

slinkymalinky Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 There's nothing better to give someone that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment, than a love of fishing. Great to hear you let your little bloke call the shots and set the pace of the session. Thats a serious toad!! Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 That is pure gold mate, i remember my introduction an 6 foot butterworth and a 2.5 luderick from the chains at 5 years old with my late father ( i now cherish i every moment spent with Dad ) It's justone of those unwritten things between a father and his child it can never be undone and the smile means a thousand things. Cheers that made my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
