Fishing season  

If your girls are pretty young, maybe a kid-themed pole would be perfect as a starter. We don't take our girls fishing regularly, but we do participate in the annual fishing derby that is held in my community. We bait the hooks for them, but they do the rest. The fishing derby is held at our city park, and the lake is stocked with trout. We used worms, mealy worms, and minnows as our bait.

The kiddie poles come with a reel, and generally, a 6 lb. weight fishing line is used on the reel.

Good Luck!

Hi there

You just happened to fall into my favorite topic in the entire world. What can I say. A kids first fishing experiance will pretty much make or break it for them. If they have fun thenn they will be lifers. If they hate it then forget ever getting them back out again. I definately suggest cheap tackle and equipment to start. I have a great article on my fishing blog about taking kids fishing so why not go to http://fishingtutor.blogspot.com Go and have a look their. There are also a lot of other tips on the site.

Good luck and remember a bad day of fishing is always better than a good day at work.

Thanks Dale

My husband loves to fish. He got both our grandkids a fishing pole last fall from cokerewards.com. They were home for a visit the week before Easter and he took them fishing at the lake and they loved it. We live right beside a large river and they loved to fish there too. They are only two and three years old though.
