Fishing with my kids is one of my family’s favorite outdoor activities. It is great excuse to find a spot near a lake or pond, turn off the screens and wait for a bite.
Equipment and Bait
Yes, it is hard to fish without something to catch those water critters. My older son has successfully caught a fish with just a net. He had to be very alert and quick. Along the beach, it can be the only option since swimmers and fishing hooks are a bad combination. Even if fishing is allowed, dipping nets are helpful. If nothing else, on a day when the fish aren’t biting, use the nets to skim the water or sand for small treasures.
Traditionally, a pole is used. Kid’s fishing poles are readily available at most retailers and tend to be one style. For adults and older children, there are different styles of poles for fly fishing, deep sea fishing or other types of fishing. Do some research or shop at a trusted sporting goods store to make sure you pick the correct pole
