When I see families all together fishing, it's not how many fish they catch, it's the experience that they are sharing together. Taking your kid with you and showing him or her the ropes whether YOU think it was a bad or a good time, THEY'LL remember it forever. And they'll learn that they can have fun in healthy ways. Trust me on this, leave them alone every weekend without your guidance and they'll make their own rules and your's will be nothing but lip service. Start when they are runts.
Fishing is a great sport to share with children.
They'll learn quikcly and be out fishing you in no time. Then the kids will be dragging YOU out to go fishing. Long Island has so many different places to go, it's easy to switch things up. You can take a boat rental for two. That's your little girl with you Dad, your flesh and blood.
