he is definatly mine Ron.
Bill he still boasts about it now, and ended up taking the photo's to school and telling all his friends to go fishing.
Graham thats why i like commericals, the kids get bored easily on the beach if the fishing is slow, same any where else really. but being able to take them somewhere were there is a good chance of them catching something keeps them interested.
i took my 4yr old out the other week, to a little pond just behind me, the plan was for him to use a whip for small fish, but after being smashed to bits a few times i helped him with a rod and reel and landed a bright orange carp at 5lb. thats all 3 kids now having caught something big(to them) and all keen to keep going.
its not just carp they fish for, its any fish and i know as they get older and their attention span increases i can then start going to the places i prefer on the beachs etc with out them gettng to bored.
