thanks guys.
yep the only down side is he wants to go again ;@)
i normally do another trip around november/december for cod and whiting, but the sea is normally a bit rough and im not sure about taking him out then, he will have to wait for another smutt/tope trip next year. got another 2 wanting to go now, but to my mind they are still a bit young (4 and 7)
but saying that i took all three to a small puddle the other week and the middle one had 20+ fish out on his own with no help from me, so im looking to take him out for something a bit bigger.i've found a nice place not to far from us with 3 lakes, 2 small silver fish, 1 mixed and the last one with carp to about 30lb. even the 4/5lbers give a good fight so he might get a trip there soon.
the youngest went out a few weeks ago just walking along the beach but we didnt catch.
theres nothing like handing the kids a fishing rod bent in half and watching them struggle.
