First and foremost. Do not go! You can even rethink your hobby, but if you are still determined that your children, nephews ... follow your steps, there are some tips that can help you.
1.- Choose your fishing spot well.
In my opinion, it is the most important thing, you will have to find an area of easy access in which the water is a few meters from the car. When you get to the fishing spot, the kids will want to quickly get the rods out and fish, if they have to walk 15 minutes to the fishing spot, you may end up desperate before getting the lures wet.
Shallow areas where depth is gained are preferable, in this way you will avoid unnecessary scares if a child falls into the water.
2.- Bring spare clothes.
Yes! be sure that the child is going to fall into the water or will have the happy idea of throwing bigger and bigger rocks into the water. If you go with more than one child, this will turn into a competition in which both will end up drenched by the splashes or perhaps on a sunny day in April, your son has the happy idea of throwing a bucket of water at his cousin as I happened to me. If you have not provided yourself with change clothes, your fishing day will end at that moment.
3.- Quantity matters more than quality.
In this, we differ a lot from the small fishermen, if I ask anyone, What do you prefer, 1 bass of 2kg or 10 that barely reach the span? Surely all of you will lean towards the first option. It is clear that small fishermen will choose the second. Forget about the big pieces for a day and focus on the children taking fish even if they are small every little while, if not I assure you that they will not last an hour fishing.
4.- Arm yourself with patience.
Going with a child has its complications, but if you go with more than one it will become a difficult experience, especially the first days.
We put ourselves in a situation, so as not to hurt anyone's sensibilities, we are going to call the two little fishermen Monster 1 and Monster 2.
Monster 1 throws the lure perfectly into the water. Meanwhile, Monster 2 when casting has not opened the pick up of the reel and the lure has turned the rod a hundred times, forming a knot that not even Lauri Rapala could have imagined.
You patiently start to fix the mess so Little Monster 2 can fish as soon as possible, but meanwhile, Little Monster 1 has thrown the lure directly into the bush that you previously told him to avoid.
Little Monster 1 demands your attention so that you help him to unhook it, you calmly and with even a smile on his mouth (it is logical, you are fishing and it is what you like to do most in this world) you tell him to try to give him a few tugs to see if he comes out, when he finishes sliding the Montruito 2 rod, you will help him.
The pressure can with you and what seemed to be already there, is becoming difficult, the knot does not come out. Montecito 1 calls you back I can't, I can't! What do I do? At that moment, still calm but no longer smiling, you tell her to wait again.
You choose to break the thread and tie the lure again. Seeing this, Little Monster 2 starts to cry because he thinks he's no longer going to fish, while Little Monster 1 already half crying exclaims JOOOO HELP ME THAT I ALONE CAN'T!
That is the moment you lose your temper and regret having gone. The moment only overcome with your partner saying You do not see that they are children, you have to be more patient!
5.- Take a backpack with water and some food.
Yes, I know what you're going to tell me. If I have the car nearby if when I ask for water, I only need half an hour to eat. When a young child is thirsty or hungry he will not understand the "Nothing, two more sets and we are going" It is better to carry something by hand so that you can extend the fishing time a little longer. Imagine that all this happens at the time of greatest activity.
