I've been thinking about taking my little one fishing for the first time. I don't have any experience myself, but I saw some kids' fishing rods at a local store and thought it might be a fun outing. What's a good setup for a beginner? I'm looking for something simple that will keep my kid engaged and make it a memorable day out. Any advice on what bait to use or techniques that have worked well for you? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I took all my kids out when they could walk and just helped hold the pole.
We had the kids push button. we had Buzz Light year, Lightning Mcqeen from cars and many more.
as 410-er said ponds and lakes for blue gills best way to get them hooked.
have fun and good luck. Memories is what it is about
