Jim,
Good to know that was you in your "new and bigger" boat at the Lincoln launch last week. The bigger boat is much better when you plan to take the g-kids out. That was my goal when I got my boat after I retired in 2000. At that time my fishing plans almost always included a boat full of g-kids, hence the BFT user name of Boatloadakids. The name served me (us) well for 20 years but now seems outdated because my crew of g-kids has steadily diminished as they somehow grew up, marred, and now have their own boats. Still, I did my job because all of them are die hard fishers. I'll just shorten my username to BLK since I don't really have a boat load of kids anymore. Then again, I have a few gg-kids that will need training in the not too distant future so I'll stick with Boadloadakids.
I consider passing along the joy of fishing to be one of old age's greatest pleasures as well as an almost sacred obligation.
See you on the water,
"I consider passing along the joy of fishing to be one of old age's greatest pleasures as well as an almost sacred obligation."
I'm right with you there. I hope I do a better job of it than I did with my 4 sons. They all loved to go, until they reached the teen aged years and they gradually drifted to other pursuits. They all want their kids to go, but none became die hards like their dad.
