Anyone recommend a spot to take kids for their first time fishing? I have a friend whose kid would like to go. He's only 10, so I'm looking for a lake/pond in the New Haven area. I don't own a boat, and would rather keep his first time on the shore(less distracting).
Thanks!
I don't know any places in particular, but I'd let the kid have fun with some live bait. Garden worms, wax worms, meal worms, or mummies would all do well. Bait attracts a variety of fish and minimizes the amount of casts (and thus, potential tangle ups). You don't have to go to a big name lake either, there are probably some smaller ponds in the area. If all else fails, you can try some of the state parks. Wharton Brook park is near the New Haven area, although I've never been there personally, I want to check it out in the near future myself.
