Planning a Family Fishing Fun Day!

There is nothing better than taking the family out for a great time! What better way is there to enjoy the company of your partner and kids then a spot of fishing? Of course most people reading this post are going to be killing to do both; spend time with the family and fish as well (Well, sometimes mostly fish but that’s beside the point).

So just how does one interact the two to make the perfect day out? Combining a third activity is sure to enhance and attract all family members! Let me explain.

There are carp fishing competitions held yearly in most areas where fresh water is available. Entering the kids into a competition where they can win some great prizes is one sure way to make them so excited they don’t want to leave the bank. The same applies to trout fishing, any fishing really! Add in prizes and kids are killing to be a part of the activities. The ladies in our life usually are not so committed to this though. A picnic blanket and $30 worth of magazines can do the trick if fishing is not their thing. Asking them to be the provider of a beautiful picnic lunch with some wine and fruit and ‘walla!!!’, wifey is in on it too! There are ladies out there that would enjoy this without the mags, picnic, wine and fruit of course!

Another thing that you can add to your day of fishing is shore activities such as beach golf, volleyball, sunbaking, swimming (not on shore obviously), gem hunting and again the picnic lunch.

If you really want to make a trip out of it, throw in a tent, some cooking utensils and an esky full of beer for family fishing and camping fun.

Catching your own bait is also an excellent way to add to the fun prospect of fishing for kids. For fresh water fishing having them find worms, crickets, bardi grubs or even cutting up cheese for cod will entice them towards seeing a product at the end of their hard work: the caught fish!

Regardless of any activity a man can do that he enjoys; fishing is the best by far to include the whole family so you can hang that sign up (gone fishing) without a worry in the world meaning .... back lash!

Make sure you take the camera, family fishing fun can produce a ton of great snaps both in and out of the water!
