I started my kids' fishing experience in a pay lake 20 plus years ago- not glamorous I know. The first few trips, i had them fishing with cheap hotdogs with liquid onion squirted on the dogs. Yes, there were some fish caught, but the fish weren't the highlight. It was things like getting some chips and pops for the cooler, bugs flying around,looking for a place to use the bathroom and singing goofy little songs as we drove to the fishing holes. Now they are grown with families of their own and I figured that those early trips were distant or forgotten memories or just something to laugh about now and then. I now actually fish small tournaments with the husband of my middle daughter. We were visiting with them earlier this past evening and my middle daughter, now 26, said "I'd like to go fishing again sometime". My heart melted on the spot. Guess who has a fishing trip in her future. Don't miss the privilege and opportunity to be a dad and make some memories.
