Mike, I'm new to Fishington. I read that you wanted to start a fishing club for kids. All I can say is you are doing it like I did it. I loved fishing as a kid. My friends and I went all the time. When my son was small I took him fishing occasionaly. As he reached about 9 or 10 years old. We both got hip boots, vests and whatever we needed for trout fishing. He liked to fish and I loved taking him. As he got older he got 3 or 4 of his friends interested in fishing. That sort of became their fishing club. They would spend a good part of the summers fishing.They were into video games. But, fishing seemed to come first. I would sometimes fish with them a little when I would pick them up. My son still would go with me anytime. If your kids enjoy it. Friends will too. I could say. Lets go fishing anytime of day or night any type of weather and he says . Lets go. He is now a senior in High school. He plays lacrosse and footbal. But, still can't wait to fish. He has about 10 of his H.S. friends fishing with him now. It feels great when your son asks you to go fishing. I'm going to be 50. He is 17 and we still spend alot of time together fishing. I could be 90 years old and unable to walk. But, this is a sport that I could probably still do with him. Thanks, Gerard
