Today Kyle was able to chose what he wanted to do! And of course he wanted a Fishing Trip, fishing his way. Now if you are a really keen fisherman you wont want to be with us…his style is really unique!
Fishing Trip With A Seven Year Old
There is a Technique to his Fishing Style ::
1. Find his Ideal Spot.
2. Walk up and down the Ideal Spot before Setting up.
Try and NOT Fall IN!!!
3. Set up with playing with the Bait, putting it on the hook – dragging it on the ground getting it as dirty as possible before washing it off in the water {I kid you not}
4. Cast the Hand Reel out into the water – walking around looking at whats in the water.
See the look on his face and ask him to take his shoes off before jumping in!!

Such Style.
5. At this stage its best to take shoes and socks off before getting them any more wetter!
6. Decide that there is not enough water in the “Perfect Spot” so we move on to the other side of the world…..well not exactly but its a big walk before we decide there is another Perfect Place for the fish that is waiting for him.
7. Find the new spot. Set up the Hand Reel with the Bait. Remember Step 3. Yep do that one again.
8. Look into the water. Find a Crab or what ever animal is in the water and chase after it.
{Lucky those Shoes came off because before you know it he is up to his jumper in water.}
9. Try to catch said animal on his line by directing the reel to towards the animal.
Yes He IS Chasing The Animal ~
With His Hand Reel And Bait so that it can be caught.
10. Get out of the water.
11. Put the Hand Reel down on a rock or wall if there is one handy. Pile Sand on top.
12. Forget the Hand Reel. Go off exploring the beach/and look at all of the Sand Crabs.
Loved the Sand Crabs ~
He was very gentle with them
13. Have fun building a sand castle or catching sand crabs
14. Remember that the hand reel is still sitting there…..return to it.
15. Pull in the Hand Reel and discover the bait has been taken.
16. Go to step 7 and Repeat.
Play With Crabs ~
While Meant To Be Fishing!!
17. Return to first Perfect Fishing Spot to see if any fish have turned back up.
18. Play in the water and get stuck under the Bridge!!!
YEP that is how a Seven Year Old LOVES to fish…..
His such a Cutie,
who am I to deny a great day out. No matter if we didn’t catch anything, it was the experience that counted.
And no he never managed to catch a fish today, but there is always another Fishing Trip With A Seven Year Old on another day so maybe next time he will get lucky!
