First time fishing.

[nana1962409]

I had told the boy I would take him fishing this summer and summer got away from me. The kids start school tomorrow so we went fishing for a bit today. Didn’t get much time out due to rain that came through. I passed down my first fishing pole I ever had to him. Nothing fancy but my grandpa had fixed it up for me my first time out. He caught 2 small perch so he was happy as hell. The daughter wasn’t too thrilled about it though.

That pole looks, and appears to work just fine. What's the problem with the rain? As for the daughter, the boy's smile trumps those feelings in my book. She may want to get use to it.

Time has a way of doing that .....life gets in the way....... Way to go Dad !!!!

Nothing wrong with the pole. I took it apart and cleaned and lubed everything up last night and put new line on. We did fish in the rain for a bit then it started to pour so called it quits. Yes he was all smiles and wants to go back already. The daughter is special needs so has a very short attention span and just will have a fit I’m used to it but other people look like what the hell is going on.

My apologies, I misunderstood the post of daughter. Cant quite relate to that, however my wife is paralyzed so I do get the extra needs things.

No need to apologize you had no idea about her and I didn’t take it in a wrong way. There are times I even tell her to get used to it and sometimes she does!

Sometimes the simple things are the best.

I’m not sure on the make of the pole 409newby but Dave nailed it on the reel zebco 202.

Mine was a zebco rod.n reel. And it was right handed with the push button release so even I could figure it out

 

[nana1962409]

I think my second rod n reel was all zebco. I might still have that one as well. I never really got rid of my fishing poles I just kept accumulating more of them. I can only think of one I bought and don’t have anymore and I borrowed it to someone and they never returned it.

Awesome day Dad !!

Ever hear of the Zebco Plunge? When the reel won't cast right dunk it in the water.....try again..perfect....

My wife didn't get to go fishing when she was younger because her father came from a fishing family and he got burnt out on it. She loves to go every chance we get. Need to go catch some new babies to grow in our 55 gallon. This large mouth she caught 2 years ago is getting way to big. LOL!

Priceless Nate! This will be something he’ll remember for the rest of his life. Way to go!

Thanks brad and fuzz! Dave I have not ever heard of that one I will keep it in mind though. Randy my boy wanted to bring the first fish back home I told him no and that if he let it go it would grow up and he could catch it again when it’s bigger. He found some minnows earlier this summer and put them in a container when he stayed with a friend and they got sent home with me. I talked him into putting them in one of my coworkers stock tanks to help keep it clean. They all died during the car ride but he said they were sleeping cause they were tired from playing and he put them in the tank anyway. We were there yesterday and he checked and couldn’t find them so he said the cows ate them.
