I know where you are coming from - My oldest son just began doing some fishing with me and it is really alot of fun.
I fish in the Tenn.Valley Bass Club and on Thursday nights we have a dog fight at Sullivans on Nickajack. My son (Lee) has fished the last two Tx with me and has been very successful. He just learned how to throw a bait caster and the first Thursday caught 2 3 lbers and we came in 2nd place and won alittle money and then last week he caught a 5 -11 and won big fish. So he has fished 2 with me and we won money in both. We are having alot of fun and who knows, maybe hes my good luck charm !!!
