New member here and just took first trip out near Bowie to Backside of the Moon. Took my 6 year old boy and 9 Year old boy. Rigged up the v hull aluminum boat -- found copperhead underneath so be on the lookout for these guys. Was on water at 7:45 am. Did more explaining, training, rigging , detangling, untreeing for a long time. Finally pulled in a 14 incher on a White spinnerbait a hour in. around 11:30 am started getting some action on Texas rigged creature bait. Pulled in 2 18 inches and 1 20 incher. I broke my line on two different hookups, missed a few others and had one monster break my line at the boat. My two boys each hooked up with a Texas rigged creature bait as well. My oldest had a very big fish on and it broke his line at the boat. My younger also lost his near the boat but the fish just shook it out. Boys loved the experience and had a both learned to operate the trolling motor. I am pretty sure the next outing will be exceptional as well. Fished till around 2:30 pm when we finnly decided to head home. P.S tried the green flat bottom jon boat too and it has major leak.

Welcome to the club, Stephen.
There are few better ways to introduce kids to fishing than this club. Your instructional time should taper off and your casting time will increase as they become more proficient.
