    We'll see, not quite sure whether he'll run with it, but I'm doing my part. When I was his age, all I could think about was fishing. Took me two years to catch my first fish and no effect on enthusiasm. If my dad had taken me fishing offshore on a jetski to catch snapper, think I would have died on the spot with excitement!

    Got three kids myself , one is mad keen even worse now his mates are into it ..one yeah na , youngest ..if weather is good comes makes wicked sandwich’s fishes wash’s the boat then leaves for mates / own time time ..you’ve opened the door ..when he’s 40 he will either be thankful because of what you shared or thoughtful because he has a feeling he missed something in his life ...it was only when my sons mates were in envious of what opportunities that he had that he realised what was sitting in his lap.

    Us fisher types don't know how good we've got it sometimes. I have mates whos' only hobbies are collecting dvds or watching movies etc... and they are in their mid 40s. My old man took me and my brother surfcasting around Dorklands west coast since I was 7, carrying a 13 foot surfcaster and rock hopping. It's a pass time that gets you outdoors in the fresh air and you might even get dinner. In my opinion it's one of the best things to introduce your kids to since if they have no experience when they are young, are very unlikely to take it up out of the blue when they are older.
    Kids these days ( and millennials), seem to mainly only be interested in screens and to be entertained via tv or the interweb utube etc..then getting out and actually doing stuff. It seems to be luck of the draw with who you are born to, if they are into outdoor stuff. Otherwise it just doesn't seem to register ( with the odd exception where adults take up hunting or fishing). .

    My family were not fishers but I always had an interest in the sea and it's inhabitants. It wasn't until my early 20's that I got the bug and went mad keen. I was living just out of Dunedin at the time and seeing the local Island community waist deep in the surf casting to big schools of Kahawai got my interest up. A bought a reel from a second hand shop and found a 16' piece of bamboo and I was into it. It's funny why and when doors to these things will open and change our lives.

    Oi, Oi!!! Oh yeah, um yeah what he said.

    Aaron didn't quite make it to the main road before his eyelids fell down.
    He had a fantastic day out (as did I), catching as many fish as he did even with Jo feeling the need to throw a couple of good ones back in the briney... Cod galore, A few pannies with a handful of carrots for good measure. Even a couple of sharks to keep it interesting.
    Cheers Cam, Jo and family for the hospitality and the great day out on the water. Thanks for the fish, and the company.

    I suspect you are asking a very leading question to try and lure our mate into a confession
