Hi goats, on my list of things my dad did well, fishing is not on it. I want to learn some basics to be able to teach my 3yo and his about to be born brother something, anything really, about it. What my dad did teach me is that lures are made to trick fishermen out of some money, but beyond that I have no clue where to start. I’ll be in freshwater creeks, ponds, some lakes. I’m north Dallas so without a long drive I’m not planing on eating anything from here so non game catching is fine. Blue gill and perch are as fun to me as a small bass but I’ve only reeled in a handful on borrowed rods. My memories from fishing as a kid is tangled lines or hooks caught in rocks and submerged trees. Basically what I’m hoping for is if someone can point me to is a simple guide or first hand pointers on what minimum equipment I can get to take my boy and spend more time in nature and hopefully reel in something to take a picture of.

I never give them to her. I just work hard and make sure she has no wants and is safe. If she saw how much I actually love her she would see me as weak. Woman are that stupid. Yet, I love her, I’ll continue to write the letters and work hard. We can’t live with them, can’t live without them.

Turns out my almost 3 year old is a white supremacist; He heard sirens and said “I hear an ambulance!” Pronounced completely correctly. #ProudDad

The thought of my son not knowing his father terrifies me.
