A little guidence would be greatly appreciated - taking kids fishing.

I am taking my family down to Jamaica Beach the 7th-15th. I will be bringing a canoe to fish from and have two kids 4&5. I will be taking them out in to Jumbile and maybe the state park. I am great paddler but not great at knowing where/how to fish. I would like to make this as memorable experience as possible and get them on some good fun fish. Does anyone have any tips?

If your kids are 4 and 5 just get out there and let em soak dead shrimp on the bottom. They'll catch a myriad of species and wont get bored.

and use a small hook and small peices of shrimp...all you want at this stage is constant giggles.

X2 on this idea. Make it simple and have fun.

PLEASE make sure you have safety equipment-lifevests, throw cushion and do not run a canoe at dark. Canoe's tip easily. Cold water for the kids-it'll be HOT. Much Police and Game Wardens will be active-plus a myriad of bozos.

Get some shrimp, work grass shorelines and drains and stay in protected areas in Jumbile and GISP areas.

Good luck, be safe and have fun.
