Taking the my little lad out for his first trip on Wednesday afternoon just to a local pier any tips to keep him interested.
He's been asking to go for the last 6 months but don't think he would enjoy the beach at 2am in a gale !!

Re: little fish for the little lad
what about taking him up to the pontoon in mullaghmore - no dangers from big swells - shelter from wind - and throw on size 4s and get him some minis and hes hooked
you might get one or 2 yourself if your lucky

Re: little fish for the little lad
Had mullagmore in mind just of the breakwater not the seaward side, pontoon is to risky hes daft enough to jump in, made a few two hook flappers with size 4 hooks got a few lug left from the weekend and some mac. I'll let you know how he gets on i might take a conger rod with me see if i can catch the resident conger.
think the lad would be a bit scared if i dragged it up it weighted about 8lb last summer so it should have put a bit of weight on by know. i just hope he likes it and we can go more come the summer
Cheers for the reply's will post a report after

Re: little fish for the little lad
Bring a little handline, get a bit of barnacle or even a bit of mackeral if you are using it and let him pass the time with the crabs, never fails!!
A bad days fishing is better than a good day at work.
