I need to learn to fish, as I'm tired of "Uncle _____" being the go to guy for my sons' fishing adventures and Hell's Kitchen or Masterchef being the guide to cleaning them.
The most fishing I have done was back when Abe Lemons was around to carry me to the tank when he came out.
With young kids I need to be able to make sure they (and my wife) know enough to not get hurt, for those times when I have to be doing work on the farm when they want to fish.
I have access to tanks that have good fish (bass, catfish and perch), and we caught a few the other day when I had 15 minutes to scratch it off the list for my oldest.
If you were teaching a youngster anything about fishing, cleaning fish, and cooking it, what rules and tricks would you tell them?
Any good advice is appreciated. If things go well, I want to read the boys this thread at bedtime as a treat before prayers.
Thanks!
