I have three daughters that are now 29, 23 and 17. I didn't start none of them in a boat.
I would find bream beds that were close to the road with a short walk to carry them to fish. I would make a big deal out of their trip. Wake them up around sunup, let them help load the truck. We would stop off and have breakfast, go by the bait store and get the bait. I would carry something for them to drink and eat and we would fish for 1/2 a day.
It was so fun watching them catch their first fish. All three of them ran up the bank instead of reeling the fish in.
All of them love to fish and they all remember that first fishing trip with Dad.
