Take out the kids! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dorf · 01-06-2009, 11:00 AM

I live for taking my boys out (check the Avatar).
I my oldest (9 in March) is now big enough to take out my wife’s yak while the youngest (8 in April) rides my bow.
It can be tricky with 3 on the yak at one time but we make it work. I even took them out to LJ one time and they freaked out so much when the dolphins came by for a look. Unfortunately they ziged when I was trying to zag on the way in and we rolled in the surf. They don't want to hit LJ any more (at least until they are bigger...I hope).
We hit the bay and harbor a lot.
It's good to know I will always have a fishing buddy that is ready to go at any time.

My niece began fishing around age two and so did my nephew. Most of their early pictures of them fishing are on film. They love fishing and catching fish. Actually my niece brought in a stripe marlin on vacation in costa rica, with uncles help of course! This pic is about a year old or so and is of a day of fishing Catalina,first bonito and then this bass during lunch time. These kids know how to fish.........

Everyone's photos submitted were terrific! These kids are too cute with their huge smiles and their catch! I especially enjoy seeing little girls get hooked on fishing, we need more women yak-fishers! My son, Wade, also loves fishing. He has even caught a WSB by himself!! His mom almost died of pride that day!
