In retrospect


Recommended Posts

In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have introduced my son to fishing which happened a few months ago. The guy is obsessed. If given a choice, I think he would now rather go fish than golf. That's disturbing!! Last week we were in the desert for a practice round and he is there looking for fish in every pond. He recently went so far to say that if golf doesn't work out he wants to be a pro fisherman. ughhhh

Seriously, let him think that way. My kid used to love to fish and I took that away because I wanted him to golf more. Kids need a hobby outside of golf. Trust me, fishing is better than Fortnite.

I am GenX.  If you really think I care about what you have to say, I don't.

I agree. Fishing is similar to golf in some ways. They both take tons of time, skill, and can get very expensive.

I sense your jest ( I think). You are not alone- my 8 year old has the same fishing bug. The Two courses we play the most - one has a great bass pond, the other is on a tidal creek and prime for redfish. For me it goes back to what originally hooked my son to the course- candy at the snack bar. If I want to keep him engaged long term, need to mix it up now. Plan to tote a telescopic rod in the bag and surprise him now and then . Wetting a line every once in a while can be the new candy . vcmvot8nb2k9.jpeg

Instead of "This is private property."

A fishing pole fits just fine in a golf bag, and isn't technically a club. What else is there to do when waiting for the kids to finish putting.

We live on our course. We get in the golf cart in the evenings and go to the back where no one can see us. Great bass fishing.

Our home course lets the boys and girls who work there fish after hours if they want. My son is so ready to hit 14 so he can work there!

They have some carp in a couple of the ponds that are absolute behemoths. I know some of the kids have pulled out some nice 6-8 lb bass as well.
