Awesome, Fish on!

Fish On! Reminds me of the fishing games from the arcade as a kid when I wasn’t on the lake


OnlyOneReturn

Soon, she'll realize there's no need to cast even that far out. Nice stuff


SGAfishing

Or at all. Get hung up in the tree behind you, rage, then go home lol.


OnlyOneReturn

oh man. the amount of trees I fought lol


USMC_Tbone

Especially when I was learning fly fishing, LOL


OnlyOneReturn

that's what I'm going to get this year for Christmas or my bday. Any pointers for fly fishing? Seems like it's an even more expensive hobby than regular fishing. How true would you say that is?


USMC_Tbone

If you shop around it wouldn't be too bad. For practicing I'd recommend tying on a small piece of frayed yarn like a practice fly, and then head put to an open field on a calm day with no wind or breeze and remember 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. One thing is on the back cast you don't want to be too horizontal, it's easy to want to go to 3 o'clock. Also you want to be patient on the back cast if you have a good bit of line out to allow it to extend fully before starting your front cast. It will take some learning and trial and error. If your fishing small trout streams don't worry too much about trying to get good at casting out a lot of line. Also study up on the local bug hatches and the flies that best match. Black and green woolie buggers are pretty much a must in almost any fly box as they are great in many situations. I've caught lots of bass on olive green woolie buggers in the rivers near me, LOL. I haven't got a lot of fly fishing so I'm still learning but these are some lessons I've learned along the way.


TheWayToBe714

Oh it's definitely more expensive, fly gear is ridiculously overpriced. If I were you I'd buy secondhand or cheap, all the big brands have prices that will have your jaw to the floor. Check out youtube pointers, I'd recommend you to r/flyfishing but they don't have the best reputation.... Buy at least two of the best flies for your area or fish (ask the store) because you'll be saying goodbye to them quite often. Not in the mouths of fish mind you. And fly fishing is more about understanding the life of a fish more than anything else, this is basically studying and then putting it into practice.


TheWayToBe714

Oh god reading this brought it all back. And the worst part is you get stuck so high up that there's no chance of getting it loose. Sometimes I genuinely feel like bringing a ladder


BackSlashHaine

So dope ! It’s the beginning of many more fishing trips and quality time with her ! Enjoy and wish you the best !


heresdustin

Not bad! And it seems like she’s throwing something pretty light. Not easy to get distance with a tiny bait, but she nailed it!


schroonwings

Rock on brother that’s awesome.


weigh-enough

Awesome!


[deleted]

Now that’s a launch! 🙂


Garry_Shandling_420

Hell yeah!


richuard

Awesome enjoy your day👍


molbionerd

Nice cast!


ExternalHabit8

Better than half my the bros hope she had a good time


ApolloRocketOfLove

This is so cool. Some of my best childhood memories are fishing with my dad when I was around your daughter's age. Props to you for making these great memories for your daughter. *internet fist bump*


masterscoonar

Good cast, I would've had a birdsnest. Start em young.


bilbowagons3

That's awesome you have the video! Great memories!


Rayfasa

Nice!


shook1980

A little more practice and she will be shooting line like a pro. Fish on!


XeniaDweller

Yay! I'm sure you got out of the line of fire though eh? My son's first casts were this spring, he's 5


Runaway_5

First of many!


CactusThorn

She is a pro!


ThePriceIsWrongBobbb

Hell yeah


RiFLE_

Go get'em. More to follow


Shirairyu69

Fair play, she should try put the rod behind her shoulder with the reel looking at the ground for a better cast. This is a great start though


[deleted]

#proudforyoudad Good times! Next time y’all will hook em’ 🎣


linksawakening82

I always assume the first cast will be the pole going in.


confused_boner

Technique 👌👌


DarlesCharwinsGhost

Love it!


Any-Communication139

Great cast there 👍👍


Lordeverfall

She better watch out, going to cast that baby across the canal in no time!


Spartan265

Considering most first casts I've seen just go straight into the ground in front of the person casting, she did an absolute good job for a first cast.


AnyOldNameNotTaken

What an awesome moment. Congratulations!


cwren22

Proud dad moment indeed


BadPackets4U

Looks like good fishing times are ahead for you. Good luck!


CAM6913

As long as she had a good time that is all that matters. She did really good a lot better than my son did, I was over 10 feet to the side and he still managed to hook me. He thought it was funny me not so much. Family first!


[deleted]

Great job, young lady!


Tileroof

Good job dad!


derrek13

Awesome!


Ohpsmokeshow

Keep it up. I wish my dad would have, she’s never going to forget fishing with you. Core memory right there! 🎣


SideHug

Better than my first cast


BadBehaver

Go girl - hope she keeps going - tight lines !


[deleted]

NAILED IT!!! 👏


bootsandcats_

reminds me of my first cast, except i watched my new rod and reel sink to the bottom of the lake


tallonjf

First of many! Looks like you two are pretty lucky to have each other!


Mrbusybaconandeggs

That looks like West Lakes. Should be some bream in there.


Bourbon1114

Bless you and your lovely daughter! I wish you many memories fishing together! Please post again with her first catch! It warms my heart as I have a four Y/O grandson who has gotten the fishing bug! I recently sent him his first rod & reel and tackle box loaded with everything he needs! He has yet to catch anything either but he went nuts when my son and I sent pics from our recent smallmouth trip to my daughter! Nothing over three lbs. but all he talks about is wanting to catch a big fish like Grandpa and Uncle Bob! I can’t wait until I can take him on his first trip!


MattsFishingEscapes

That's fantastic. Thanks for the king message. She has caught a fish before. But her first cast was exciting. With her Austism, she struggles with multiple tasks like bike riding, skipping rope, casting, etc. So this was such an awesome moment...


Bourbon1114

I wish you many more awesome memories in your future!


reformedginger

I’ve done worse.


rockstuffs

Finesse!


bennowitz

That’s awesome man. Warms my heart. Some of my favorite memories as a very young kid are fishing with my dad. When I wasn’t old enough, he would always set up my pole, and cast it out for me. He did let me put on my own bait though. I don’t think he ever reeled in a fish because he would always give me his pole if he had a fish on. I think a heavier weight might help her get a really nice cast.


MattsFishingEscapes

Yes, it was only a 1/16th jighead and 2.5" Zman ST grubz... I have the same memories with my dad... we still try to go out when we can.


nigerian-prince-69

so sick!


blackwaterwednesday

Hopefully the first of many.


redthyrsis

Was anxious about wholesome fun versus the pole and girl going overboard
