Smiles, laughter and fishing, what more could you ask for. Martin McGowan from Ullcatch gives us the inspiration and all we need to do is get out and bring the child. If he/she is showing an interest in fishing why not bring them along. Some tips:
Our Top 10 Handy Tips:
1. Don’t forget the camera.
2. Keep it easy. Choose simple tackle, and set up.
3. Fish for a species that are plentiful and easy to catch
4. Keep it short. Marathon days are not what you and they need.
5. Try to find fishing spots close to home that that doesn’t require long car or boat rides.
6. Keep them happy. Take lots of snacks including a treat that usually is not allowed at home. Snacks can help break up moments of frustration and will keep the kids interested.
7. Keep your cool. Expect to be rebating hooks and take out line tangles and knots all day The quickest way to turn children off to fishing is to get frustrated with them.
8. Keep them covered. Use plenty of sunscreen and protective clothing
9. Keep a fish they catch if that ask for dinner.
10. First Aid Kit. You should have a kit with medical supplies to deal with all manners of cuts and scrapes.
