I even took my fishing gear on my honeymoon, it somehow "fell" into the car,
this was 42 years ago and i didn't take as much then as i tend to do now,
over the years had 3 sons, 2 fished, 1 of them was a natural but didn't stick to it, the other was good and ended up fishing for local junior team then an intermediate team that was sponsored by a tackle shop,
we were out most weekends and in most type of weather, then along came
girls a few drinks with the lads and i couldn't take him anymore,
he now has a son and a daughter who both like fishing, so now life has gone full circle and i am taking them and passing on what i know in the hope that they will stick at it, my grandson will, my granddaughter is fair weather fisher girl at the moment,youngsters are the future of our sport/pastime and need encouraging,angling club junior sections are dwindling at present,apart from a couple of the larger clubs.
so when i don't take him, i try and get out,and at the moment as i stated earlier that isn't so often,
sorry this seems to have gone a bit off topic
