Clueless Dad (Thats me) has eager son who really wants to fish... We have a 25 foot sailboat (draws 4 feet) moored in Lake Union.

I got him a standard $30 Spinning rod/reel combo at Fred Meyer... Now what ????? I went to G.I. Joes today, and the guy who "helped" me was more clueless than I was.....So, can you guys help me out ?????

#1) General Idea of where to go ( I know you want to protect your spots, but a little guidence would be helpful)...

#2) General set up - Lures, bait, etc (when I was a kid we dug worms, do they still work ?)

#3) How deep ????

#4) Any links to good "how to" sites, or any books out there for us novices?????

#5) Any reccomendations for a good tackle shop that would take pity on clueless dad . and help me get set up so I can join in the fun ???

Thanks !
John
