| Jeff, you are right on!It's really up to us as sportsmen/women to take the reins on this one or our outdoor traditions will die. We all have very busy lives , that's why we have to MAKE the time.Lots of single parent families where the knowledge/resources/time just aren't available.I see large outdoor retailers popping up all over.Will they be there in 20 years?My guess is that the "industries" (fishing,hunting etc.) will really begin to feel the effects over time.Everyone who reads this thread should commit to taking a kid fishing this season.Son, daughter, niece, nephew, neighbor, kid from church.We need to make ourselves available.We teach, they learn.Surprising how many times it's the other way around.

Posts: 2691 Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Good stuff guys. Kids are the future of our sport. I donate time every year to get more kids on the water. My tournament partner and I run a small 20 to 30 kid tournament every year on Pewaukee Lake. We hold it at Smokey's muskie Shop in June. We get the local guides and friends to take a few kids out and catch muskies, bass, bluegills, etc. We have trophys for everything and plenty of food after the 1/2 day outing, all of which we buy ourselves. I can't tell you the joy these kids show to all of us who make this possible every season. 1/2 a day to us and memories and storys for years to them. We also have "kids on the water" and "cops and bobbers" that is held here on Pewaukee lake. Thanks again to Smokey's Muskie Shop for helping donate bait, rods and some boats to make this happen. A special thanks to the guides who donate time to take kids out on these days. I have always went out of my way to get kids "hooked on fishing" and will continue to promote and help these causes every year. I agree with Steve: "Everyone who reads this thread should commit to taking a kid fishing this season.Son, daughter, niece, nephew, neighbor, kid from church. We need to make ourselves available." Right on brother Steve!!! Here is a couple walleyes from this winter caught by kids. I bet they remember this season and look forward to the next season. My son Mikey and a clients kid Jake both got very nice walleys this season icefishing. Think they will talk about fishing to their friends?

Posts: 89 Location: Breezy Point, MN | Here are my two boys with some muskies from last summer (My son matt and I are in the one pic with his first ever, a 38"er) and John is holding his 38"er that he caught on a Figure 8!!! Both fish were caught on our trip to Eagle River, WI last summer! The third pic is from two summers ago, when John caught his first ever musky on the "We Live Outdoors" TV Show which was an awesome experience!!! Few more shots of the kids with other recent catches.... Take 'em fishing and have fishing partners for life!!!!!!!!!!!

Posts: 2384 Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot | I've got my daughter (3y9m) casting a bait caster in the house right now. She's still a little wild, but she isn't backlashing. She was to the point last summer where she had to bait her own hook and she tried to take the fish off. Tip: use circle hooks with kids. They don't have to set the hook and only 1% of the fish we caught were gut hooked.
