Proud Dad Moments

[South hams hunter 8,997]

These days I do a lot of sea fishing and as the summer species are starting to appear in decided to take my 5 year old. She took her little 6ft telescopic spinning rod, as it's only rated 5-20g it bent lovely with any fish she caught.

 

I rigged her up with a half ounce weight on a scratching rig and off we went. Day one she I'd blank but did manage to learn to cast.

 

As she had learnt to cast she wanted to go again a second day, she was rewarded greatly for it aswell. She had over ten fish, comprising of blennys, gobies, pollock, corkwing wrasse and ballan wrasse. She also spotted fish down the wall so started just removing the bail arm and dropping it down the wall. I was really happy with this as I hadn't told her to.

 

Day three she was casting about 10 yards or more and had 2 corkwings for herself.

 

Over the three days she really developed and I was really pleased. She went from being a bit screaming to not only handling fish herself but also the rag worms. We even saw her sort of (she's only 5 mind) start to look at her casting technique.
