Took my nephew out last sunday and tried to put him on some fish. Grego and Rick (Matt's dad) joined us on our adventure.
We ended up launching the yaks around 7-7:30. I was thinking it was gonna be really cold, but suprisingly, it was decent. On our way out to the fishing grounds, I towed Matt behind me and told him he had to help me paddle so we could get to fishing quicker. Once we got there I untied Matt.
We were on our way when I started seeing some activity on the FF. Told Matt to cast out and see what was under us. Aboiut Matt's third cast, he says "I think I got something." Then he's bendo.:reel:

We drifted off the spot and we paddled back together. Then he was on again.

On the way back in, I towed Matt half way and had his dad take over.
Fishing was followed by lunch of course. On the way home Matt tried to stay awake but finally knocked out.
Matt had a blast for sure. Next we hope to make Andy's Newport event.

Thats awesome! Wish I were better at finding fish for my kids to hookup. My oldest is 10 and he's hooked for sure! He's just dying for his first legal halibut, he keeps talking about it and I know its just a matter of time. My youngest is 5 and he just goes along for the ride and gets bored rather quickly if the fish aren't cooperating, he has napped on the front of my x13 a few times. Waiting for summer to seal the deal with him this summer ought to do it. Can't wait! Two more Kayak fishing addicts in training.
