She naturally did/wanted to go. (We started shore fishing when she was 9 or so/she is now almost 16). My youngest daughter (10 now) isn't quite into it yet. She has asked to go a couple times but as far as that has gone. Tough taking both. They end up goofing off all day and driving me nuts. lol I need to get the younger out there one of these days alone to teach her how to cast, etc. All she has done to date is haul in Stripers live bait fishing.
Since the catch rate has gone down as the lake has gone down keeping Madison (the oldest) entertained/focused is one heck of a lot harder these days. Being out there all day casting for only a few fish is hard to do for a kid. She ends up on her phone most of the time these days if the action isn't hot. If I am catching then she is up casting. If not she isn't.
