Choosing the Right Fishing Gear

When it comes to fishing gear, it’s best to get something user-friendly for little hands. There are plenty of children's fishing rods that are designed specifically for beginners. Make sure they can easily handle pulling in their big catches! 

Teaching Moments

A fishing boat trip can be filled with many teaching moments. It's an opportunity to impart knowledge on different fish species, boating safety, and patience. Emphasizing fun will keep them excited and engaged throughout the fishing learning experience.

Safety First

While on your boat, always prioritize safety. Clear instructions are necessary before departing about staying seated while the boat is moving and keeping hands and feet inside at all times.
