Finally was able to get the bottom of my boat wet today. Launched it at a local lake and took the kids fishing. It was a blast. My 6 year old caught three trout and my 3 year old caught two. They were so excited. I got the feel of rowing it and got a good work out as the wind decided to blow the entire time we were there. Would post some pics of the kids fish, but I have not figured out how yet. Looking forward to getting out on a river now.
