Took two of my boys out today, first time I've ever been out fishing.  Wasn't planning on taking my 2 year old but he really wanted to.  Glad I did he had a blast reeling in the bobber.  I didn't get in many casts myself but I did get to break in my new rod.  I can't wait til all the all ice clears up.

I had a blast.   

Good stuff! I'm shocked the little guy was sitting still like that....my son at 2 had the attention span of a mad monkey. 

That was before he learned pinecones float. ;-)

Now I ned to learn what a strike feels like, I think i had one or two, but it was tough to tell, I was fishing with a 1/2 oz jig.  I guesss I'll have to practice more.

Those are the good times!  Start 'em young and keep taking them as long as they want to go.  ALWAYS keep the trips short and fun.

Great pics!

Zebco!

You have the guys fishing with a Zebco???

No way.

Shimano Stradic 2500 spinning rell for both of them on a nice six-eight Cumara medium heavy fast action stick.

Start them off right with Shimano's.

I am sure your wife will understand.  ;D   ;D   ;D

Good for you! It's great to see a Dad, or anyone for that matter getting kids out to fish.Some great pictures also.

Hahhaah..very cool.  I can't wait to take my boys out. 

Good times.  Keep on taking them & once you start catching fish they'll really be hooked.

Looks like fun.

I have 2 daughters (ages 2 and 7) that I try to get out when possible as well. Have not had much chance or location for my 2 year old yet this year but I plan to this summer.

That was some pretty nice pictures. Did you guys catch anything?

awesome there Dad

I pray for the day when I can do that. Awesome!

good job dad.  we'll be seing pics of them holding fish soon i'm sure.  either way, it's the fun and togetherness that counts.

i think taking kids fishing is great even if it doesnt leave me much time to fish myself. everytime my niece visits i have to take her down to the pond to fish, shes not quite ready for artificial so i usually just get some nightcrawlers and target the bluegill and still usually get a some bass. last year she caught her first bass and was so excited. Sam would be happy to know she was using a lightweight shimano spinning setup

this year i plan to work on her casting...and patience haha...

You are an awesome Dad for spending quality time with your boys!  Its a memory they (and you) will never forget.

that's great. my kids are dying to fish my son is almost 2 i just bought him a rod and reel and he does not put it down he sleeps with it. my little girl is 4 and she knows how to flip and pitch ( so proud). I still remember my first bass when i was with my dad fishing never will forget that. also my daughters fist bass was great. good times.

great times fishing with your kids, good job i remember taking my little girl fishing she always enjoyed it now i'm taking her kids when i get to see them
