Youth fishing in Florida

Young children and young adults need encouragement and an alternative to many of the influences they encounter in their busy lives. A single fishing trip could be the turning point in a young life and the rewards are endless. Florida offers many opportunities for kids to fish and experience the thrill of catching even a small fish. The secret to making a fishing trip a success for youth is to plan the entire trip around their interest level. If they get hooked on catching, they will grow to enjoy the fishing experience. Keep the scheduled trip simple, and have a plan. Begin by fishing for pan fish or catfish. The trip doesn't need to be long, make it a reasonably short trip, maybe two hours. Share a lunch by taking a picnic prepared ahead, and make it a part of the experience. Use simple tackle at first, and focus on praise of their participation rather than their catching a big fish. Share the beauty of the outdoors with them and be ready to end the experience if they are tired, but if they wish to stay a little longer, be ready to extend the time. Adapt to their wishes, and you will be a winner. One thing to remember, teach them "Catch and Release" when appropriate. Not all kids are destined to become fishermen, be satisfied that you have presented them with the opportunity to fish and see if they enjoy it. Happy fishing in Florida.

Being from Texas originally, my family has a long history for fishing, both river and Gulf of Mexico waters. One of my favorite lakes is Lake Fork, 80 miles east of Dallas, with 27,000 acres. It is said to be the best place for Bass fishing in the state of Texas.

My father used to have a shrimp boat for his fishing hobby, and he loved the Gulf and made a number of trips down to the Bay of Campeche for some deep sea fishing. My son-in-law has invested his life into fishing, has attended lots of tournaments across the country, and well on his way professionally, living now in Kissimmee, Florida. The state of Florida has many, many lakes and rivers to fish, not to mention the entire Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic side as well. With spring coming up before you know it, there will be fishermen lining up for their chance to hook a big one.
