first fishing trip of my baby girl(and her rod his daddy customized for her)

[steelfish]

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)



and my new fishing buddy from now on




obligatory selfi



time to fish and get real



after 30 minutes , Bendo!! it was all her with no help from me reeling that fish, I only went down on the rocks for the fish  







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






houston we a have a problem, little fishy dont want to keep steady for the pictures



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



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?

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!
