well, my 6yo baby was asking everyday to go fishing with her "new rod"
check this thread http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=20515.0
well it was until yesterday that the cold winds from the north stopped for some days and took my kid to use her rod for the first time it was also her first time fishing, she have gone to many fishing trips where all family are fishing from shore but never holding a rod or reeling her own rig, so this was his first time.
on the previous night before the fishing day I involve her in all the preparatory steps for a shore fishing trip, she helped me to select the hooks, some spoons in case we see some curvinas, we choose the reels for the rods, she took her rod and put it aside to dont forget it in the morning, next day at the morning she helped me to put everything on the car, we stopped on a grocery store for some snacks, some drinks and then drive to our destination, there were just both of us, my other daughter didnt wanted to go and wife was still in bed and will prepary breakfast for our return
it was a beautiful day to go fishing, we went to a local getty (rock wall)

dont know for sure the name of that fish, but its from the curvina family (sciaenidae family) a cross between a croaker and a corvina, anyway
its good eating and perfectly on a nice size

well after that fish we have no more bites on that zone, so we change place to another place, but this time the thing got real,
now she wanted daddy's set up, I was using a swimbait with my lexa300 and a quantum inshore rod, I cast the lure and she reel it back,
we were like that for some time, and she never got tired
(https://alantani.com/gallery/29/3592_18_09_19_3_44_22_29375926.jpeg)
there were no more bites on the bait set up or on the swimbait, we spent 1 hour more until I told her that it was time to go back home.
and I will remember her answer forever ..
WHAT? why so soon daddy?,
--its not so soon honey, we have 3 hrs fishing.
Really 3 hrs? wow I didt felt the time
--I know, me either but mamy have the breakfast ready so its time to go
OK she said.
and she helped me carrying the small icecooler with the bait and fish while I carried the rods and rest of the stuff
this was his first fish and her first fishing trip

I think shes hooked now, well she's actually hooked on fishing, cuz at home she asked me, soo daddy, when we will go fishing again?

Cute kid Alex, I believe she made photo of the month with the eigth or tenth pic.
And that's what it's all about...
That's as good as it gets, Alex. Better get busy on her pink casting rod!
Awesome, couldn't ask for a better fishing partner.
My best childhood memories involved my father and grandfather and uncles fishing! Personally, I think its one of the best things you can do with your kids. Good job Dad!

not yet but she loves to eat fish, pretty soon I think
Nothing better than spending time with the kids fishing. Way to go.
That's a great size for a first fish! Congrats to you both.

Thanks amigo, I'm fishing in San Felipe, Baja. But for good fishing I normally go to Gonzaga bay area, for shore or boat fishing there is no better place near
Terrific Alex. Give that gorgeous kid a hug and a kiss for me. :-* Dominick

thanks Gary and Mo
I updated the 1st post with a video at the end
Those pics are precious.
same month, same place, same team but 5 years later
just re-read the original post and it was almost the same deal too about too many windy weekends on Jan and feb, my little princess wanted me to take her fishing from the shore to use her rod, eventho it was just a cheapo factory rod that I restored for her with better guides and girly colors she love that rod, mostly because she helped me when I was restoring it, anyway, after checking this last weekend it was going to be a day with no wind we prepared everything to go fishing to the same local rockwall pier.
as well as the last time, no one was catching anything that morning but this time we joined the Skunked team too LOL, this day my daughter learned why is called fishing and no Catching but she wasnt sad about it, she had some bites, three times a fish took her bait but thats all.
anyway was a great morning, she enjoyed the day a lot as well as I did, in our way back to home (which is 10 min drive) she was telling me that she wanted to get back soon to the same place and try again to see if she can catch the fish that was stealing her bait, no fish on the ice chest cooler but we were happy and as soon we got home she told her mom she loved the day, it was awesome and she wanted to get back next weekend !
not the same 6yo girl (that you can see on the 1st post) but she enjoyed the day the same way or maybe more.
Looks like nice place to fish,,,, :D Friday I got skunked but that's ok,,,just getting out and doing something,,,,,, ;D
:) Ah how fast they grow up and how fast the gray hair comes . Nice pictures ..
Compadre... many things here...I didn't look at original date, and thought this was a new and awesome post ...I see Sal, our brother, commenting, and I check date. I miss him a lot as I know we all do. Amazing post from five years back!!! And good on you and your daughter, five year anni and beautiful trip!!!
You have some gray there now , amigo :)
I cant post pics anymore; godaddy says my beer sips take up too many bytes!!!
They grow up fast Alex, fun trip fish or no fish! You'll get em next time!
Nice!
Good to see an update.
Won't be too much longer and you will be screening boyfriends(a delicate skill, that I never really mastered, you can't just try and scare 'em...).
Got out yesterday. Same here, no fish in the yak(only 1–Jack species up to the surface), but at least 10 unhooked bites while reef trolling.
thanks guys, yep, it was a good day.
John & joe, I have gray hair since highschool but its more noticeable when I haven't had a haircut in weeks :P
Sheridan, sure they growup fast, I told my kid that I would take her to the same spot we fished 2 years ago and she told me, it was 5 years ago
Daddy !! oops
Gregg, I have my Shotgun ready for when the boyfriends show-up ;D ;D ;)
Benni, Getting Skunked at fishing its not a crime ! :D :D
I love San Felipe. Home of the Vaquita marina. Took several trips there years ago. Never fished, but always wanted to.... Beautiful story!
:o)
