The kids are starting to exit school and staying home for the summer. Years ago, a lot of us parents now, used to fishing almost everyday at the local pier or shoreline. Summer is a fresh opportunity to hook kids on fishing. It’s a time to hone rusty knot tying skills, straighten-up casting skills, and if the fish are around, perfect fish-fighting skills. Catch and release conservation is another great lesson too while we’re at it. And don’t forget the digital camera.

Kids with fish on!
