Few things are so magical as that moment. There are few experiences families or friends can share which create a stronger bond than a day fishing.
But for children to really enjoy fishing they've got to catch fish. Just like adults you should buy the right gear for the kids to fish with too. There are many kids fishing poles out there. Some kids fishing poles have auto cast on them. Most of the kids fishing poles claim to be tangle free. This is a funny claim, I think they need to let my kids test them.
Pan fish are an excellent game when teaching a child to fish. They are common in most lakes and ponds, are aggressive feeders and scrappy fighters for their size. This means more bites and more battles with a fish of an appropriate size.
And their populations can survive harvesting. Though it's important to teach your young fisherman the value of live release, a bluegill or two lost to rough handling won't have a impact on the fishery.
Perch can be found in large schools near weedbeds, drop-offs, docks and bridges. In spring they stick largely to waters shallower than 10 feet. During summer, large perch move to deeper water, sometimes between 20 and 30 feet deep. Small minnows are ideal perch bait, though worms, leeches and crayfish work, too. Fish them just off the lake bottom.
Rock bass fight like a much larger fish. They strike small spinners and plugs as well as live baits (minnows, worms, crayfish, leeches or small frogs). Rock bass can usually be found near rock piles or gravelly bottoms, as well as under bridges and docks. They range in size from 6 to 8 inches.
Crappie are found in water between 67 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. They frequent sandy-bottomed coves, sheltered bays, boulders and underwater brush. They strike at spinners and spoons, especially when tipped with live bait, strips of fish or pork rind.
