I couldn't find my fiberglass cane poles, so we went out with rod and reel. The boys need to learn to operate a Zebco.
Learning to cast is a skill set that these young'uns need to learn. They did okay the first time out. The bot has been in the family since the '60s. Originally, owned by my grandfather, it's part of his estate. With these grandkids, five (5) generations of family has used this boat.
No one got hooked on a back-cast, and no one got injured.
The fifteen acre pond is the central fixture of the subdivision Many of the neighbors have boats or docks. It's an old gravel pit that filled with water after the gravel extraction was abandoned. Nowadays it's filled with ducks, geese, old men and young boys fishing in it. It supports a pretty good population of largemouth bass and bluegill bream.

When my Dad was going to take us on our first fishing trip with our new Zebco casting setups, he got some plastic dummy weights that replaced the tackle so we could practice in the yard. No handy nearby bodies of water. Good memories
