also, many bait shops will clean your fish for a price.Pick one of these that has bluegill or crappie. Catch a bunch of those with him then target catfish or bass next.
You can eat bluegill and crappie. People really like crappie.

We used to laugh at Grandpa when he'd head off to go fishing. But we wouldn't be laughing that evening, when he'd come back with some whore he picked up in town.Many of you might recall the fact that my father passed in the military when I was a toddler, so I never got the opportunity to fish with my dad.
I’ve actually only been fishing a handful of times in my life, but I’d like to take my son out to a shoreline or on a lake and do some fishing with him. I have absolutely no idea what we’d need. Can yall help me?
I don’t know if he’d have fun doing it but it’s one of those things I’d like to do for myself, maybe cathartic.

Where do you live? I’ve got about 6 rod and reel combos that I’m looking to dump. If not to a noob then I’ll see about donating to the boy scoutsMany of you might recall the fact that my father passed in the military when I was a toddler, so I never got the opportunity to fish with my dad.

Same. ^^ I don't have any ground breaking advice that hasn't already been shared, but would echo the "keep it fun, keep it light" direction.I wish you lived closer I would invite you to our ponds. He could catch bluegills and large mouth easily and wouldn't get bored.
bait caster and ugly stick like @SansAgain said.
Dont start at a river or body of water you dont know. find out what areas are stocked well and open to public.

go to a farm pond for walleye.
Buy the kid an open faced spinning reel on an Ugly Stick and go to a farm pond for bluegills and bass. He’ll be hooked.
This. I ice fish and love but it will be much more hit and miss than if you wait till spring and shore it. Plus you don't need to worry about cold making it a miserable experience.If you’re planning to do this in the short term I’m questioning your sanity. Ice fishing as your son’s introduction into fishing is not a great idea unless you’ve got a friend with all the things you need like an ice shelter, powered auger and a heat source on a productive body of water.
You can pick up a combo packaged rod and reel setups at Walmart very affordably usually under $20, get some extra bait hooks, weights, bobbers, some live bait and don’t forget a stringer if you plan to keep what you catch. If you’re casting out always mind the business end of your pole so you don’t end up with someone getting hooked by mistake. An unplanned visit to the doctor to get a hook extracted will ruin your experience.
I tgought the same thing but figured it was a typo.Tell me you know nothing about fishing without telling me you know nothing about fishing.
I wasn’t serious, no newb is going to be using a baitcaster unless they’d rather deal with birds nests than fish and I don’t think you’d have much luck catching walleye in a farm pond. I started my four boys on 6’ to 6’6” Fenwicks with decent Pflueger or Shimino spinning reels. Living on the river so it’s walleye, smallies and northern for the most part. Now my oldest has rods and reels for every style of fishing. He makes his own rods with G. Loomis blanks and has $400 dollar reels that I’m not allowed to touch. He’s worked at bait and tackle shop while going to school since he was 14. My $120 investment has paid off.This. Worm, hook, weight, bobber. Set the hook about 1-2 ft under the bobber.
Edit, I was thinking bluegill
Fishing is fun, but I'd fish with chum or worms instead.
Actually there are 3 privately owned ponds within 5 miles of my house that have walleye in them. That said, it just wouldn't be my first choice for a 1st timer. Panfish are generally much easier to catch in numbers.I wasn’t serious, no newb is going to be using a baitcaster unless they’d rather deal with birds nests than fish and I don’t think you’d have much luck catching walleye in a farm pond.

Interesting. I don’t know much about fish. Walleye are predators though, right?It’s extremely rare for walleyes to successfully spawn in ponds.
You need cold, deep, highly aerated water for walleye to spawn, in addition to rocky bedding.Interesting. I don’t know much about fish. Walleye are predators though, right?
May I ask where this is? I would have to guess you live north of I80 at minimum. I mow at Stonehaven and they have a walleye pond but they spent several million dollars in the 90s to build it and it requires constant aeration. It's a giant pain in the ass to have walleye in "pond" this far south.Actually there are 3 privately owned ponds within 5 miles of my house that have walleye in them.

You need a ton of aeration to have a healthy walleye population.Walleye reproduce in both streams and lakes in Iowa, but they are also hatchery-propagated in large numbers at the Spirit Lake and Rathbun Fish Hatcheries. Shortly after the ice melts from the lakes and rivers and the water temperature reaches 45 to 50 degrees, Walleye move into the shallows to spawn.
We have walleye just a few miles up the road at rathbun. However most people without a boat like to fish the spillway, from the dam. All kinds of fish there.
North Central Iowa. All 3 are large ponds, and 2 of them over 20' deep in places. The other is pretty shallow (6-7') and the guy stocks walleye every year. All 3 have aerators.May I ask where this is? I would have to guess you live north of I80 at minimum.
