Howdy folks

I mostly surf Home Theater and Mustang Forums; this is my first Fishing Forum. My 8 yr old has found an interest in fishing and I realize I haven't fished in over 20 years...some friends at work guided me to 2cool and I migrated here.

Nice forum. Looking forward to learning (or re-learning) as much as I can so my boys and I can appreciate our time on the water. Life really is better outside!

Thx,

Tony

Nothing better than getting the kids out there.....Welcome!

Welcome and get that boy on the water.....you won't regret it.....have fun !!

By the way, kids have a short attention span and nowadays with video games and such, are in need of immediate gradification. If nothing else, a big bag of fresh dead peeled shrimp on a number 8 treble hook with a split shot weight to keep it on the bottom off a pier or near some type of structure will keep him reeling in croakers, whiting, hardheads and such. No need to agonize finding 6 pound trout, just have fun catching anything and he'll have a blast. You can even pick up some flounder, reds and trout that way if you are lucky.

Thanks for the Welcome and the advice. Every bit helps.

My little one and I hit Chocolate Bayou, or atleast under the bridge, for a few hours a few weekends back. We caught a coke can, plastic bag, and some slimy looking twine...

We're planning on Quintana and Surfside next, then travel North up the beach.
