She's Hooked

CENTER]My little ANGLER Marlee RAE When asked what she wanted to do today. Answer Lets fish Daddy on your Kayak. Well then lets roll kiddo... Best day fishing yet!


We loved our great day on the Outback and sharing the gift of fishing to my youngest Daughter. She has a real passion unlike the rest of my girls. She loved it from go. Her 1st drop landed "with DAD's help" but felt the pull of a 19'inch. Halibut and a more dink Spotties. Lets say this before Bed.. she's asking to go in the morning. Love it. She's Hooked So Blessed.

X2 dont know if you had it on her but definitely you want one for the kiddo. Dont want to go into details and ruin the moment but lil bodies dont always float and currents are strong even in the bay.

I saw the PFD strapped to the back of the kayak in pic 5. are we becoming a "nanny" site... judging...pointing out the perils and risks of peoples choices without having all the facts?

Anyhow, That's awesome to get your little one fishing on a kayak.

Now Dana, you know better than to think that a PFD strapped somewhere on the kayak is going to even come close to protecting the child it was intended for. There is a reason kids are required to wear one at all times... that's because even adults can lose the ability to get one on when they go unexpectedly into the drink... let alone a 4 year old that is enjoying the distractions of her outing with daddy.

I agree with you about the "nanny" thing for sure, but this is a little different... The Papa Bears really come out of us with this particular situation... ESPECIALLY if you're actually a Papa Bear.... Even MORE so if you've ever lost a child to drowning or anything for that matter.

I HOPE this otherwise awesome and cute thread doesn't turn sour because of this PFD thing and I don't think it will because all of the PFD statements were easy going and just a little friendly reminder...

So far.

Absolutely love it! Hate to ask, but was she in a PFD because I didn't see one with her in the back of the Outback?

PFD for the both of you, please. Life is too precious.
Great job getting her to share your passion.

That is so awesome! My daughter LOVEs to sit on my Gator hatch and tell me which way to go... She lies up on the bow and paddles with her hand and think's i'm not helping. LOL

But she does wear a PFD. I'm sure you had a CLOSE watch on her and you're a great daddy... but I'm sure the people saying "PFD" are seeing such a precious moment spoiled... WE're probably parents too which makes us super sensitive to that sort of thing!!!

I wish my daughter was more into the fishing aspect of it like yours was, but mine get's bored in a second!! Fish on or not!

Congrats on the new super-cute-first-mate!!!

Wow. You got Bonus Dad Points AND a new fishing co-conspirator! That's awesome.
