Going Fishing.... I hope!
I grew up fishing and hunting and now that my kids are getting old enough to join me, I want to get back into it.
I made a trip into Bass Pro Shops today and bought a new rod and reel. A quick note, the guys at the fishing counter were amazing. I described my skill and my goals for fishing. Gave them my budget and off we went. The guy there showed me a couple of different style reels and when I decided on a bait caster he gave me a quick lesson on how to use the reel right and how to get the most out of it. He hooked my up with a nice Abu Garcia reel that just happened to be on sale! Then he threw in a free box of line and even loaded it for me. Saved over $70 there today.
I digress. My main question is this. I live in Trochu, AB in kneehill county. I want to take the kiddos fishing. It has to be shore or dock fishing for now as we don't yet have a boat. Where can I go that we might actually catch fish??? The closer the better but driving an hour or so isn't out of the question for a fun day.
Thanks for your help!
