Been out twice now this year, caught nothing... The boy is totally into fishing (5) and still loves it even though we haven't caught anything. Today he came up to me as I sat there realizing we were going home empty handed and said "Well dad, I hate to be the one to say this but I don't think the fish are biting today." I really just need to spend time scouting my spots before bringing him out, he loses all interest by the time we realize we're in the wrong spot...
That being said has anyone found any good ponds in or around the Manhattan area easily accessible for kids that they're biting at (I know there's Pott 2 but I never have much luck there and always seem to end up next to some loud drunks...) ? He really wants to throw a lure, but the pond I fish at isn't very friendly for him throwing a lure with the steep banks...
