| Hailey Pickering, age 6, hoists a good size sunfish. |
I took the grandkids fishing in freshwater yesterday. We fished a very productive and easy to access pond called Jabob's Pond in Norwell, MA, which was right near their house. They had a blast catching bluegills and sunfish using mealworms which I bought at Petco since I could not dig any earthworms in this dryness. After catching dozens of fish, I had to practically pry them away from the spot when it was time to head home.
If you have younger kids or grandkids who want to get into fishing, the easiest route is to target bluegills and sunfish in an easy to fish location. It will keep their attention and the action can be non-stop!

By the way, my grandkids use light, regular spinning outfits. Far more trouble free than a push button reel. And, both kids who are 4 and 6 years old, can cast on their own.
