Took my 9yr old son for his first trolling trip along with my neighbor Ron. we had lines in at 8am trolled for 3 hrs before the wind and waves started to pick up. ended the day with 8 dolphin mostly slingers. Lost two also caught a cuda and shark. Had one big runoff and my son grabbed the rod but tightened the drag too much I told him to let up on the drag but not being used to lever drags he dropped it into free spool. can you say birds nest…lesson learned! He’ll get it next time. Son handled himself great! He’s hooked. Looks like I’ve got a fishing partner for life. One proud Dad! catch um up…Mike
Great day- Im taking my 10 year twin boys for the first time this weekend. Should be interesting!
