Welcome to the latest forum on SAI. Right, whilst we may not all have kids, I'm sure we all have nephews and nieces that might enjoy a day on the beach. Granted a certain amount of bribery may have to take place in their first few sessions, sweets, burgers on the way home, whatever but so be it.... Get them kids on a beach and give them a rod, they may have the attention span of a gnat but its amazing how that changes when you hand them a rod with something tugging at the end..... :D

The future of our sport rests with our kids and this is but a very small first step. For those without kids, how about putting up a picture or two of yourself with one of your first fish. At the very least, we can laugh at the guaranteed dodgy haircuts and clothes :D .

Cast your mind back and remember the thrill of your first fish, and the feeling with each subsequent fish...... Lets share that with our kids.
