After all, your child just wants to spend time with you. Like any great adventure, planning it is three-quarters the fun. Fishing is the same way. Quality fishing equipment is important to ensure that everyone has a positive, frustration-free experience. It's a fact of life.
Kids have short attention spans.
First off, plan ahead. Check the forecast for bad weather. Look for a spot that has easily accessible rest rooms and a nearby playground. Bring snacks, and maybe some toys. Second, don't make the mistake of forcing your child to fish for hours on end.
