If you really love fishing as much as you say you do you will find the time to go fishing.

I guided for over ten years, and I never have taken a single guided fishing trip other then my own, in 55 years. Yes, a guided trip will most likely put meat on the table, but there is much more to fishing then bringing home meat! When I was young, I too had a child when I was only 17 years old and I was still going to high school at the same time. During that time, I also worked nights to support my 15 year old wife. During that time, I always found some way to go fishing. It was tuff for a couple of years, but I never gave up my fishing. Now I am 55 and having the time of my life! You just need to go fishing when ever you can. As time rolls on, you will fine that you will have more time to enjoy your fishing and most likely will be taking your kids with you. My dad took me fishing from as long back as I can remember, and I can never thank him enough because he has pasted on.

You probably need to fine a good fishing partner, so that he can do a lot of the searching and leg work for you. Hang in there! Lots of things will happen and change your life, but the dreaded fishing bug will only get worse. Good luck with your new baby and start taking both your wife and the little one with you when you go fishing.

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook????
